As part of an effort to develop a model system for somatic gene therapy, a human argininosuccinate synthetase (AS) cDNA has been introduced into two gag+ retroviral vectors, and high titer clones were obtained for both constructs. The presence of proviral DNA sequences was detected in individual spleen colonies after infection of primary murine marrow cells with each virus. Mice were reconstituted for long-term survival with marrow infected with one virus, and they demonstrated elevated levels of AS expression in peripheral blood for up to eight weeks posttransplantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008025 Ligases A class of enzymes that catalyze the formation of a bond between two substrate molecules, coupled with the hydrolysis of a pyrophosphate bond in ATP or a similar energy donor. (Dorland, 28th ed) EC 6. Ligase,Synthetases,Synthetase
D009710 Nucleotide Mapping Two-dimensional separation and analysis of nucleotides. Fingerprints, Nucleotide,Fingerprint, Nucleotide,Mapping, Nucleotide,Mappings, Nucleotide,Nucleotide Fingerprint,Nucleotide Fingerprints,Nucleotide Mappings
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D001854 Bone Marrow Cells Cells contained in the bone marrow including fat cells (see ADIPOCYTES); STROMAL CELLS; MEGAKARYOCYTES; and the immediate precursors of most blood cells. Bone Marrow Cell,Cell, Bone Marrow,Cells, Bone Marrow,Marrow Cell, Bone,Marrow Cells, Bone

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D001124 Argininosuccinate Synthase An enzyme of the urea cycle that catalyzes the formation of argininosuccinic acid from citrulline and aspartic acid in the presence of ATP. Absence or deficiency of this enzyme causes the metabolic disease CITRULLINEMIA in humans. EC 6.3.4.5. Argininosuccinate Synthetase,Synthase, Argininosuccinate,Synthetase, Argininosuccinate
