Expression of retrovirally transduced genes in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. 1987

Differentiated primary rat hepatocyte cultures have been infected with retroviral vectors expressing human hypoxanthine/guanine phosphoribosyltransferase or the transposon Tn5 neomycin-resistance gene. Expression of the markers was detected only after infection of the cells during a short period of cell replication and transient dedifferentiation from days 1 to 5 of culture. Provirus integrated during that period remains fully expressed during the entire subsequent stationary period of culture up to at least 25 days. Selection with the neomycin analogue G418 of cells infected with the neomycin vector led to the appearance of cells with hepatocyte morphology in which newly synthesized albumin was detectable by immunoprecipitation, indicating successful infection of hepatocytes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007041 Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate and hypoxanthine, guanine, or MERCAPTOPURINE to the corresponding 5'-mononucleotides and pyrophosphate. The enzyme is important in purine biosynthesis as well as central nervous system functions. Complete lack of enzyme activity is associated with the LESCH-NYHAN SYNDROME, while partial deficiency results in overproduction of uric acid. EC 2.4.2.8.

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.
