Lentiviral Vector-Mediated Gene Delivery for the Generation of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Lines with Improved Productivity and Stability

Recombinant cell line generation by standard transfection techniques is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process often leading to an unpredictable outcome as transgene integration is a rare, random event. Consequently, the population of cells obtained ...

Generation of stable, high-producing cho cell lines by lentiviral vector-mediated gene transfer in serum-free suspension culture

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker

Lentivirus-derived vectors (LVs) were studied for the generation of stable recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines. Stable pools and clones expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) were selected via fluorescence-activated cell so ...

Functional analysis and structural modeling of human APOBEC3G reveal the role of evolutionarily conserved elements in the inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection and Alu transposition

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Bastien Mangeat

Retroelements are important evolutionary forces but can be deleterious if left uncontrolled. Members of the human APOBEC3 family of cytidine deaminases can inhibit a wide range of endogenous, as well as exogenous, retroelements. These enzymes are structura ...

Response of aged parkinsonian monkeys to in vivo gene transfer of GDNF

Patrick Aebischer, Romain Zufferey

This study assessed the potential for functional and anatomical recovery of the diseased aged primate nigrostriatal system, in response to trophic factor gene transfer. Aged rhesus monkeys received a single intracarotid infusion of MPTP, followed one week ...

Lentiviral vector-mediated genetic modification of human neural progenitor cells for ex vivo gene therapy

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Romain Zufferey

Human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) hold great potential as an ex vivo system for delivery of therapeutic proteins to the central nervous system. When cultured as aggregates, termed neurospheres, hNPC are capable of significant in vitro expansion. In the ...

The KRAB repressor domain can trigger de novo promoter methylation during mouse early embryogenesis

Patrick Aebischer, Didier Trono, Friedrich Beermann, Shuangqing Liao

The Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain is a transcriptional repression module responsible for the DNA binding-dependent gene silencing activity of hundreds of vertebrate zinc finger proteins. We previously exploited KRAB-mediated repression within the co ...

KRAB can repress lentivirus proviral transcription independently of integration site

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde

The KRAB transcriptional repressor domain, commonly found in zinc finger proteins, acts by inducing the formation of heterochromatin. We previously exploited this property to achieve drug-regulated transgenesis and knock down by combining doxycycline-contr ...
