Production of hepatitis B surface antigen in transgenic plants for oral immunization

Article Abstract:

This article reports on the research and development of vaccine and surface antigen for hepatitis B virus. Mice fed transgenic HBsAg potato for the research demonstrated immune response. The result of the research at Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, both in New York State promises less expensive vaccine to immunize the two billion people in the world infected with hepatitis B.

An infectious transfer and expression system for genomic DNA loci in human and mouse cells

Article Abstract:

The authors descibe a system for rapidly and efficiently delivering and expressing BAC and PAC library clones in human and mouse cells by converting them into infectious amplicon vectors. This work is the first demonstration of infectious delivery and expression of DNA sequences that may prove useful for analyzing gene expression from the human genome.
