"Transgene expression" refers to the process where a gene, which has been transferred from one organism to another, is turned on or activated in the recipient organism. This results in the production of a specific protein or trait determined by that gene.
Full definition
Nuclear - associated plasmid, but not cell - associated plasmid, is correlated with
transgene expression in cultured mammalian cells.
Interestingly, a transcriptional analysis revealed that
transgene expression from not completely silenced viral vectors could, in fact, perturb global gene expression in hiPSCs [8].
The study investigated the effects suppression of
transgene expression by doxycycline (Doxy) feeding on complex behavioral readouts and the correlation to changes in brain pathology.
By functionally linking the signal transduction of melanopsin to the control circuit of the nuclear factor of activated T cells, we have designed a synthetic signaling cascade enabling light -
inducible transgene expression in different cell lines grown in culture or bioreactors or implanted into mice.
OMC also aims at potentiating the existing Conditional Mutagenesis Facility by implementing novel approaches to attain tissue -, stage - and site -
specific transgene expression in mouse mutant strains, mainly through lentiviral vector - mediated transduction of blastocysts.
Other research showed that channelrhodopsin - 2 (ChR2) activation induced backward swimming in a
sparse transgene expression line (Zhu et al., 2009).
The vectors could integrate into the genome, permitting long -
term transgene expression, but they could only infect actively dividing cells.
MALDI - MS analysis revealed an absence of Aβ signal in non-transgenic animals (Figure 5) at both time points, indicating that detected Aβ peptides predominantly derive from the human
APP transgene expression or reflecting the low level of endogenous rodent Aβ [51].
A significant advantage of ZFN gene modification, compared to retrovirus based approaches, is that only
transient transgene expression is required to permanently engineer an HIV resistant cell.
Shutting down
transgene expression by Doxy is a useful benchmarking for preclinical treatment trials for drugs addressing tau pathology.
Additional studies are attempting to determine if
the transgene expression of various anti-apoptotic genes can protect T cells from tumor - induced apoptosis.
Transfection by cationic liposomes using simultaneous single cell measurements of plasmid delivery and
transgene expression.
Researchers have also developed integrase - deficient lentiviral vectors for applications that require the large genetic capacity of a lentiviral vector but for which transient
transgene expression is sufficient.
Sustained high - level polyclonal hematopoietic marking and
transgene expression 4 years after autologous transplantation of rhesus macaques with SIV lentiviral vector - transduced CD34 + cells.
Increases transduction efficiency and
transgene expression.
