Gene Therapy
Research on gene therapy detailed by J. Gao and co-authors
February 10th, 2009
"Hantavirus (HV) infection leads to a kind of severe systematic syndrome, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome ( HFRS). Heat shock proteins (HSPs) can be used as adjuvants assisting soluble antigens to produce specific targets which can be attacked by cytotoxic T lymphocytes," investigators in Wuhan, People's Republic of China report. "For further research on HFRS vaccine, this study aimed to express Hantaan virus nucleocapsid protein (HTNV NP)-HSP70 fusion protein in COS-7 cells. First, an HTNV S gene encoding NP was amplified by PCR with a mutated termination code and cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3.1(+), into which the full-length hsp70 gene had...
