The present result showed that human beta-globin gene has been integrated into amphotropic packaging cell line PA317 in 5/13 clones of PA317 beta and 1/14 clone of PA317 beta E0.4. Retrovirus titers of amphotropic recombinant retrovirus ranged from 10(3) to 10(4) CFU/ml. MEL cells were transfected by supernant of PA317 beta and PA317 beta E0.4. Northern blot showed that the expression of human beta-globin gene in MEL beta E0.4 was significantly higher than MEL beta in mRNA level. This result indicated that an enhancer which comes from HS II of human LCR can increase human beta-globin gene mRNA expression in transfected MEL. However, the retrovirus titers of PA317 beta and PA317 beta E0.4 in our experiment were low. When large fragment enhancer (0.4 kb) was inserted into retrovirus vector, it could bring about the human beta-globin gene deletion in amphotropic packing cells.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
