Analysis of immune response in young and aged mice vaccinated with corn-derived antigen against Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin.

abstract：:Electroporation of cells in the presence of DNA is widely used for the introduction of transgenes either stably or transiently into bacterial, fungal, animal, and plant cells. A review of the literature shows that electroporation parameters are often reported in an incomplete or incorrect manner, forcing researchers t...

abstract：:Selection of guide RNA (gRNA) is important to increase the efficiency of gene editing in the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Due to the variation in actual efficiency of insertion/deletion (indel) mutation among selected gRNAs in silico, reliable methods for validation of efficiency of gRNA need to be developed. Three gRNAs with ...
