A Novel Bactericidal Drug Effective Against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Pathogenic Bacteria: Easy as AB569.

abstract：:Sufficient levels of gene expression are required for effective gene therapy. One of the major obstacles in gene therapy is the low transgene expression obtained from currently available vector systems. To address this issue, we employed a transcriptional amplifier strategy in a single construct to enhance transgene e...

abstract：:The mammalian CYP2E1 gene encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme that is markedly increased soon after birth. In vitro evidence suggests that the rat CYP2E1 gene is positively regulated by the transcription factor HNF-1 or a protein displaying DNA-binding properties similar to HNF-1. In contrast to newborn wild-type mice an...
