Study 1: Adenovirus vectors provide efficient gene transfer into embryonic stem cells.
"Efficient and transient gene transfer into embryonic stem (ES) cells is expected to be of use for basic studies in developmental biology and for applications in regenerative medicine. Here, we report the development of an adenovirus (Ad) vector that efficiently expresses foreign genes in mouse ES (mES) cells. We prepared four LacZ-expressing Ad vectors, each of which contained one of the following: Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), beta-actin promoter/CMV enhancer...
