Study Findings on Gene Therapy Are Outlined in Reports from Soochow University

2012 MAR 29 -- Researchers detail in "Expression of hGM-CSF in silk glands of transgenic silkworms using gene targeting vector," new data in Gene Therapy. According to the authors of recent research from Suzhou, People's Republic of China, "The silk gland of the silkworm is a highly specialized organ that has the wonderful ability to synthesize and secrete silk protein. To express human granucyto-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) in the posterior silk glands of gene-targeted silkworms, a targeting vector pSK-FibL-L-A3GFP-PH-GMCSF-LPA-FibL-R was constructed, harboring a 1.2 kb portion of the left homogenous arm (FibL-L), a 0.5 kb portion of the right homogenous arm...
