Prospects for human gene therapy

TL;DR: The most effective delivery system at present uses retroviral-based vectors to transfer a gene into murine bone marrow cells in culture as discussed by the authors, and the genetically altered bone marrow is then implanted into recipient animals.
Book ChapterDOI

The molecular genetics of human hemoglobin.

TL;DR: The recognition of linked polymorphisms, the development of mutation-specific oligonucleotide probes, and the possibility of first-trimester chrionic villus biopsy have made the prenatal diagnosis of sickle-cell anemia and β-thalassemias of immediate applicability, and appropriate resources must be marshaled to offer this technology to the areas of the world where it is most needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted disruption of the apolipoprotein C-III gene in mice results in hypotriglyceridemia and protection from postprandial hypertriglyceridemia.

TL;DR: Data indicate that ApoC-III modulates the catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and plays a role in the postprandial management of triglycerides.

Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gel electrophoresis.

TL;DR: This paper describes a method of transferring fragments of DNA from agarose gels to cellulose nitrate filters that can be hybridized to radioactive RNA and hybrids detected by radioautography or fluorography.

Labeling deoxyribonucleic acid to high specific activity in vitro by nick translation with DNA polymerase I

TL;DR: Labeled DNAs (and restriction endonuclease fragments derived from them) are useful probes for detecting rare homologous sequences by in situ hybridization and reassociation kinetic analysis.

Abnormal human haemoglobins. Separation and characterization of the alpha and beta chains by chromatography, and the determination of two new variants, hb Chesapeak and hb J (Bangkok).

TL;DR: In this article, a method for the separation of the α and β chains of human haemoglobin by chromatography on carboxymethyl-cellulose in 8 M -urea has been described.
Journal ArticleDOI

A dye-buoyant-density method for the detection and isolation of closed circular duplex DNA: the closed circular DNA in HeLa cells.

TL;DR: The covalently closed circular duplex DNA structure, originally identified in polyoma viral DNA,1’2 has been assigned to the mitochondrial DNA’s in ox and sheep heart, in mouse and chicken liver, and in unfertilized sea urchin egg.

The Isolation and Characterization of Linked δ- and β-Globin Genes from a Cloned Library of Human DNA

TL;DR: The two independently isolated β-globin clones differ from each other by the presence of a Pst I restriction enzyme cleavage site within the large intervening sequence of the δ- globin gene of one of the clones, which suggests that the human DNA carried in the two clones was derived from two homologous chromosomes which were heterozygous for the PstI restriction enzyme recognition sequence.
