Homeostatic enhancement of sensory transduction [PDF]
Significance How do biological systems ensure robustness of function despite developmental and environmental variation? Although the operation of some systems appears to require precise control over parameter values, we describe how the function of the ear might instead be made robust to parameter perturbation.

Enhancement of adenoviral transduction with polycationic liposomes in vivo [PDF]
Although the high transfection efficiency with adenovirus in vitro is well documented, it is still not clear whether adenoviral vectors are effective in vivo in solid tumor models. In our preliminary experiment, transduction of tumor tissue was limited to just around the injection site after intratumoral injection of the adenoviral vector.

Approaches to enhancing the retroviral transduction of human synoviocytes [PDF]
This report concerns a clinical trial for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), approved by the US National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. An amphotropic retrovirus (MFG-IRAP) was used ex vivo to transfer a cDNA encoding human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) to synovium.

Transduction of endothelial cells (EC) with a vector that expresses apolipoprotein A-I (APOAI) reduces atherosclerosis in arteries of fat-fed rabbits. However, the effects on atherosclerosis are partial and might be enhanced if APOAI expression could be ...

The human ankyrin 1 promoter insulator sustains gene expression in a β-globin lentiviral vector in hematopoietic stem cells. [PDF]
Lentiviral vectors designed for the treatment of the hemoglobinopathies require the inclusion of regulatory and strong enhancer elements to achieve sufficient expression of the β-globin transgene.

Fusogenic effects of murine retroviruses and cationic enhancers of transduction [PDF]
The maturation of retrovirus particles involves proteolytic cleavage of the envelope glycoprotein transmembrane component, resulting in conversion of the virus particle to a fusogenic or infectious state. Susceptible murine cells exposed to virus-containing supernatants from ecotropic retroviral helper cells occasionally fused to neighboring cells ...

Co-transduction of dual-adeno-associated virus vectors in the neonatal and adult mouse utricles
Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene transfer is an efficient method of gene over-expression in the vestibular end organs. However, AAV has limited usefulness for delivering a large gene, or multiple genes, due to its small packaging capacity (<

In Vivo Deletion of the Cebpa +37 kb Enhancer Markedly Reduces Cebpa mRNA in Myeloid Progenitors but Not in Non-Hematopoietic Tissues to Impair Granulopoiesis. [PDF]
The murine Cebpa gene contains a +37 kb, evolutionarily conserved 440 bp enhancer that directs high-level expression to myeloid progenitors in transgenic mice.

T cell transduction and suicide with an enhanced mutant thymidine kinase [PDF]
Retroviral transfer of Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase to T cells has been used to confer sensitivity to the antiviral agent ganciclovir. This has allowed therapeutic approaches to be developed in which T cells mediating graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplantation can be selectively eliminated by the administration of ganciclovir.
