Gene Therapy
Studies from Fourth Military Medical University yield new data on gene therapy
April 8th, 2009
According to recent research from Xian, People's Republic of China, "Rat dicarboxylate transporter (SDCT1), expressed in renal tubular epithelial cells, plays a key role in regulating blood and urinary citrate level by reabsorbing citrate from the lumen. Antibodies against this transporter are very important for investigating its expression and function." "With the cytokine gene as a molecular adjuvant, genetic immunization-based antibody production offers several advantages compared with current methods. This study aimed, by genetic immunization, to produce a high-specificity antibody against SDCT1. We fused a high-antigenicity fragment of SDCT1 to the plasmid pBQAP-TT...
