Low molecular weight protamine as an efficient and nontoxic gene carrier: in vitro study
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-08)
Background The structural similarity between low molecular weight protamine (LMWP), prepared by enzymatic digestion of protamine, and HIV-TAT protein transduction peptide suggested the feasibility of LMWP as an efficient ...
Adenovirus binding to cultured synoviocytes triggers signaling through MAPK pathways and induces expression of cyclooxygenase-2
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005-03)
Background Recombinant adenovirus can be administered in vivo to achieve transduction of a number of cell types including human synoviocytes. Immunogenicity of adenoviruses has limited their utility as vectors for gene ...
Restituting intestinal epithelial cells exhibit increased transducibility by adenoviral vectors
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-12)
Background and aims While mature enterocytes are resistant to transduction by adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vectors, undifferentiated cells are transduced much more efficiently. Our purpose was to study enterocyte transduction ...
Lipopolysaccharide recognition protein, MD-2, facilitates cellular uptake of E. coli -derived plasmid DNA in synovium
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005-07)
Background Several cell types are susceptible to transfection in vivo using naked plasmid DNA. The mechanisms involved in mediating in vivo transfection are incompletely known, but evidence suggests that receptor-mediated ...
