The Gene Vector Core was awarded the Blue Flame Award. The award is given to scientists who have at least one plasmid deposited that has been distributed at least 100 times. The Gene Vector Core was ...

In the early 1990s, researchers set out to harness viruses for gene therapy applications ... In perhaps the best known example, lentivirus-based vectors were instrumental to the development ...

This cassette is then transferred to the adenovirus vector plasmid (pAdeno X, Clontech Laboratories or pAd5F35, The Journal of Gene Medicine Volume 6, Issue 6 , Pages 631 - 641). The adenovirus vector ...

For example, by inserting a DNA sequence between ... However, this has proved challenging to achieve because the Cre gene in the vector is spontaneously expressed in the E. coli bacteria used ...

Improvements include a more efficient delivery vector and biomarkers ... factors that could make gene therapy safer, more customized and more predictable. For example, it would be useful to ...
