European Cells & Materials, 2023 Muscle tissues attached to the proximal ends of hamstring tendon grafts are routinely discarded during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Preserving the muscle on the ACL graft was shown to improve the surgery outcomes, possibly due to the ...

Transcription of plasmid DNA: Influence of plasmid DNA/polyethylenimine complex formation [PDF]
Journal of Controlled Release, 2005 Polyethylenimine (PEI) is one of the most potent non-viral vectors. We have developed a lactosylated PEI (Lac-PEI) to enhance cell-specific transfection and have shown that Lac-PEI is more efficient than unsubstituted PEI for gene transfer into immortalized cystic fibrosis airway epithelial SigmaCFTE29o-cells.

RpoS regulates a novel type of plasmid DNA transfer in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Spontaneous plasmid transformation of Escherichia coli is independent of the DNA uptake machinery for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) entry. The one-hit kinetic pattern of plasmid transformation indicates that double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) enters E. coli cells

The integrity of chemically treated plasmid DNA as a chemical-based choice for prion clearance
Regenerative Therapy, 2020 In regenerative medical products for clinical applications, a major concern is the risk of ruminant-derived materials developing transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in the manufacturing process. Because of the risk of TSE causing prion disease,

Regulatory T cells suppress natural killer cells during plasmid DNA vaccination in mice, blunting the CD8+ T cell immune response by the cytokine TGFbeta. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress adaptive T cell-mediated immune responses to self- and foreign-antigens. Tregs may also suppress early innate immune responses to vaccine antigens and might decrease vaccine efficacy. NK and NKT cells are

Multiple pathways of plasmid DNA transfer in Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
, 2012 Many Helicobacter pylori (Hp) strains carry cryptic plasmids of different size and gene content, the function of which is not well understood. A subgroup of these plasmids (e.g.

Monomeric PcrA helicase processively unwinds plasmid lengths of DNA in the presence of the initiator protein RepD [PDF]
, 2013 The helicase PcrA unwinds DNA during asymmetric replication of plasmids, acting with an initiator protein, in our case RepD. Detailed kinetics of PcrA activity were measured using bulk solution and a single-molecule imaging technique to investigate the ...

Endocytosis of DNA-Hsp65 alters the pH of the late endosome/lysosome and interferes with antigen presentation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: Experimental models using DNA vaccine has shown that this vaccine is efficient in generating humoral and cellular immune responses to a wide variety of DNA-derived antigens.
