MAR Elements and Transposons for Improved Transgene Integration and Expression

Nicolas Mermod, Déborah Ley, Niamh Harraghy

Reliable and long-term expression of transgenes remain significant challenges for gene therapy and biotechnology applications, especially when antibiotic selection procedures are not applicable. In this context, transposons represent attractive gene transf ...

Direct and Retrograde Transduction of Nigral Neurons with AAV6, 8, and 9 and Intraneuronal Persistence of Viral Particles

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

Recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors of serotypes 6, 8, and 9 were characterized as tools for gene delivery to dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra for future gene therapeutic applications in Parkinson's disease. While vectors of all th ...

MAR-mediated integration of plasmid vectors for in vivo gene transfer and regulation

Andrzej Kulik, Nicolas Mermod, Stefania Puttini, Déborah Ley, Damien Saugy

Background: The in vivo transfer of naked plasmid DNA into organs such as muscles is commonly used to assess the expression of prophylactic or therapeutic genes in animal disease models. Results: In this study, we devised vectors allowing a tight regulatio ...

Poly(ethyleneimine)-Mediated Large-Scale Transient Gene Expression: Influence of Molecular Weight, Polydispersity and N-Propionyl Groups

Harm-Anton Klok, Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Zuzana Kadlecova, Sophie Nallet

Three synthesis lots of linear poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) are compared to a fully hydrolyzed linear PEI (commercially available as PEI Max) regarding structure, polyplex formation with plasmid DNA, and transfection of suspension-adapted HEK-293E cells. PEI ...

Comparative Study on the In Vitro Cytotoxicity of Linear, Dendritic, and Hyperbranched Polylysine Analogues

Harm-Anton Klok, Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Zuzana Kadlecova

Lysine-based polycations are widely used as nonviral carriers for gene delivery. This manuscript reports the results of a comparative study on the in vitro cytotoxicity of a library of three structural polylysine variants, namely, linear polylysine (LPL), ...

The PiggyBac transposon enhances the frequency of CHO stable cell line generation and yields recombinant lines with superior productivity and stability

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser

Generating stable, high-producing mammalian cell lines is a major bottleneck in the manufacture of recombinant therapeutic proteins. Conventional gene transfer methods for cell line generation rely on random plasmid integration, resulting in unpredictable ...

Gene Delivery with Hyperbranched Polylysine

Zuzana Kadlecova

The delivery of exogenous nucleic acids into mammalian cells is a valuable technique for basic research studies on the expression, regulation and function of genes and proteins. At the same time, gene delivery to cultivated mammalian cells has become funda ...

Lentiviral Vector-Mediated Gene Delivery for the Generation of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Lines with Improved Productivity and Stability

Agata Oberbek

Recombinant cell line generation by standard transfection techniques is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process often leading to an unpredictable outcome as transgene integration is a rare, random event. Consequently, the population of cells obtained ...
