Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small non-enveloped virus and as a member of the parvovirus family, it contains a single stranded DNA genome. AAV's life cycle in vitro is strongly dependent not only on cellular factors but also on helper functions provid ...
We have investigated the therapeutic potential of a prototypic melanoma vaccine based on recombinant adenovirus expressing human dopachrome tautomerase in the B16F10 murine melanoma model. We found that in the presence of a tumor, the magnitude of T-cell i ...
DNA uptake by polyethylenimine (PEI)-mediated transfection was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO DG44) cells. Rapid DNA uptake was observed with the maximum occurring during the first 45-60 min after addition of PEI-DNA complexes to cells. With lo ...
Human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, a widely used host for large-scale transient expression of recombinant proteins, are transformed with the adenovirus E1A and E1B genes. Because the E1A proteins function as transcriptional activators or repressors ...
