    摘要: The present invention relates to a gene expression cassette including a synthetic 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR), a promoter, and a regulatory gene; a recombinant vector including a replication origin and the gene expression cassette; a recombinant microorganism which has the recombinant vector introduced thereinto and shows alleviated segregational instability and; a method for preparing a recombinant microorganism having alleviated segregational instability by introducing the recombinant vector thereinto; and a method for quantitatively controlling a plasmid copy number in a recombinant microorganism. According to the present invention, removal of infA and efp, which are genes indispensable for cells, encoding respectively for a translation initiation factor and a protein elongation factor (EF-P), from a microbial chromosome and introduction of the gene expression cassette including the regulatory gene with Escherichia coli serving as a host allow the stable maintenance of plasmids in an antibiotic-free medium without causing intercellular intrinsic variations. In addition, the precise control of expression levels of infA and efp in the recombinant microorganism by means of a promoter can lead to the quantitative control of PCN at high yield as well. Therefore, the present invention can find a broad spectrum of applications in a variety of industries producing recombinant proteins.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of neurological disorders and more particularly to the field of neuropsychiatric disorders. The invention provides non-human, transgenic animal models for brain disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, compulsive disorders, addictive disorders and the like. The animals also have applications in the field of GABA neurotransmission and other disorders in which GABA-dependent gene regulation has a role.

    摘要: The present invention is based on the development of a dual promoter system (preferably a RNA pol I-pol II system) for the efficient intracellular synthesis of viral RNA. The resultant minimal plasmid-based system may be used to synthesize any RNA virus, preferably viruses with a negative single stranded RNA genome. The viral product of the system is produced when the plasmids of the system are introduced into a suitable host cell. One application of the system is production of attenuated, reassortant influenza viruses for use as antigens in vaccines. The reassortant viruses generated by cotransfection of plasmids may comprise genes encoding the surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase from an influenza virus currently infecting the population and the internal genes from an attenuated influenza virus. An advantageous property of the present invention is its versatility; the system may be quickly and easily adapted to synthesize an attenuated version of any RNA virus. Attenuated or inactivated RNA viruses produced by the present invention may be administered to a patient in need of vaccination by any of several routes including intranasally or intramuscularly.

    摘要: The invention provides novel retroviral vectors that have enhanced transcription termination structures. The termination structures comprise one or several heterologous upstream transcription termination enhancer (UE) sequences, or one or more additional copies of endogenous UE sequences operably associated with the 3null LTR polyadenylation signal. The retroviral vectors of the invention have various improved properties over conventional vectors, including stronger gene expression, enhanced vector titer and reduced interference with host cell gene expression resulting from read-through of vector initiated transcriptional events.
