  1. 1. Replication-competent adenovirus 11p vector as a new oncolytic agent

    Författare :Jim Silver; Ya-Fang Mei; Gunnel Halldén; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Virologi; Adenovirus; Vector; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Human adenoviruses (Ads) as vectors have been studied for cancer gene therapy for several decades due to their ability to shut down host cell replication and lyse tumour cells. Ad5 of species C is commonly used as a replication-defective or a replication-competent vector. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Reverse genetic studies of Enterovirus replication

    Författare :Anna Sävneby; A. Michael Lindberg; Björn Andersson; Peter Gierow; Jonas Waldenström; Martin Ryan; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Enterovirus; picornavirus; coxsackievirus; echovirus; rhinovirus; reverse genetics; replication; translation; transfection; cassette vector.; Virology; Virologi;

    Sammanfattning : Enteroviruses belong to the Picornaviridae family and are small icosahedral viruses with RNA genomes of positive polarity, containing a single open reading frame. They mostly cause mild or asymptomatic infections, but also a wide array of diseases including: poliomyelitis, encephalitis, gastroenteritis, aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, hepatitis and respiratory diseases, ranging from severe infections to the common cold.

  4. 3. HOST EPIGENETIC REGULATOR BMI1 AND VIRAL FIBER PROTEIN FOR EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN ADENOVIRUS AND HOST

    Författare :Manli Na; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; BMI1; Dual-gene expression; Epigenetic; Equilibrium; Fiber; HSC; HDAC; TSA;

    Sammanfattning : Human adenoviruses (Ads) are broadly used in cancer gene therapy, vaccine development and gene delivery. The modified Ad5 or Ad2 viruses have been successfully used as oncolytic agents in pre-clinical studies. However they could not be translated into clinic utility due to a number of limitations including inefficient Ad spread among tumor cells. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Specific genetic modifications in the CNS - Cell specific expression and gene specific regulation

    Författare :Erika Elgstrand; CNS Genterapi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease Gene therapy Cell specific GAD67 Rat Striatum Substantia nigra pars reticulata;

    Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is a promising therapeutic tool for many diseases of the CNS. Lentiviral vectors are particularly attractive since this vector type can transduce both dividing and non-dividing cells, have a relatively large cloning capacity, can sustain long-term transgene expression and have low immunogenicity.

  7. 5. Construction of Adenovirus Vectors for Studies of Protein Function and RNA Interference

    Författare :Saideh Berenjian; Göran Akusjärvi; Mikael Berg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbiology; Adenovirus; viral vectors; VA RNAI II; RNAi; Tet-ON OFF; RNA splicing; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

    Sammanfattning : During an adenovirus infection the accumulation of alternatively spliced mRNAs is subjected to a tight temporal regulation. The IIIa protein is a structural protein expressed exclusively late after infection. LÄS MER
