Disease relevance of Biolistics

  • Although biolistic inoculation of either vector reduced insulitis and prevented diabetes, the protracted mIL-4 expression afforded by the EBV vector resulted in Th2-type responses in the periphery and pancreas and more significant protection from the onset of diabetes [1].
  • The response of human dendritic cells to recombinant adenovirus, recombinant Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette Guerin and biolistic methods of antigen delivery: different induction of contact-dependant and soluble signals [2].
  • The biolistic transfer is efficient for viroid "thermomutants", which exhibit low or no infectivity with conventional mechanical inoculation with Carborundum [3].
  • The outer membrane protein F gene (oprF) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was recently shown by us to protect mice from P. aeruginosa chronic pulmonary infection when used as a DNA vaccine administered by three biolistic (gene gun) intradermal inoculations given at 2-week intervals [4].
 

High impact information on Biolistics

  • To investigate mechanisms of localization, we used biolistic techniques to express GFP-tagged PSD-95 (PSD-95:GFP) and the K(+)-selective channel Kv1.4 in slices of rat cortex [5].
  • We investigated the editing of short 'spliced' and 'unspliced' ndhA gene fragments from spinach in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) in vivo using biolistic transformation [6].
  • This allele was introduced into the tobacco plastid genome by biolistic transformation to replace the wild-type ycf9 allele [7].
  • Using biolistic transformation, ycf4 and ycf3 were disrupted with a chloroplast selectable marker cassette [8].
  • Using site-directed mutagenesis and biolistic transformation, we have identified two major RNA stability determinants within the first 12 nucleotides at the 5' end and near position -30 relative to the AUG initiation codon of psbD [9].
 

Biological context of Biolistics

  • We have used biolistic transfection of organotypic slices of P12 cerebellum to identify a 40-bp element from the calbindin promoter that is necessary and sufficient for Purkinje cell specific expression in this transient in situ assay [10].
  • A biolistic approach was used to integrate two fusion genes, one encoding aminoglycoside-3-adenyltransferase (aadA) and the first 123 aa of the Ssp DnaE intein (In) and the other encoding 36 C-terminal amino acid residues of the Ssp DnaE intein (Ic) and soluble modified green fluorescent protein (smGFP) into N. tabacum plastids [11].
  • These results suggest that the nonviral, gene gun technique offers an efficient alternative approach for transient transgenic studies of hematopoietic cells and may provide new possibilities for certain cancer gene therapy strategies using CD34+ cells [12].
  • The oprF gene was cloned into plasmid vector pVR1020, and the plasmid vaccines were delivered to mice by biolistic (gene gun) intradermal inoculation [13].
  • This study demonstrates by lipid transfection into an immortalized dopaminergic cell line and biolistic transfection into dopamine neurons in neonatal rat midbrain slices that the human nine-repeat DAT VNTR can enhance transcription [14].
 

Anatomical context of Biolistics

  • By using biolistic transformation, we have relocated the nuclear RIP1 gene into mitochondria [15].
  • Many studies have identified dendritic cells (DC) as the central players in inducing immunity upon biolistic DNA vaccination; however, none of these studies directly quantify DC-mediated responses in comparison with immunity triggered by all Ag- and MHC-expressing cells [16].
  • Musculus glutaeus superficialis of C57BL/6J and quadriceps femoris of mdx male mice were opened surgically under anesthesia and bombarded by means of the gene-gun technique originally developed by us [17].
  • To determine the effects of increased microglial expression of M-CSFR in a complex organotypic environment, we developed a system for biolistic transfection of microglia in hippocampal slice cultures [18].
  • Dozens of astrocytes can be labeled in single slice cultures by gene gun-mediated ballistic delivery of gold or tungsten particles carrying cDNAs (Biolistics), lipophilic dyes (DiOlistics), or fluorescent intracellular calcium indicators (Calistics) [19].
 

Associations of Biolistics with chemical compounds

  • We have introduced the HMW-GS 1Ax1 gene, known to be associated with good bread-making quality, into the Bob White cultivar of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), in which it is not present in nature, by the biolistic bombardment of cultured immature embryos [20].
  • Isoform-specific induction of a retinoid-responsive antigen after biolistic transfection of chimaeric retinoic acid/thyroid hormone receptors into a regenerating limb [21].
  • Biolistics. The retinoic acid supergun affair [22].
  • The mitochondrial bc(1) complex catalyzes the oxidation of ubiquinol and the reduction of cytochrome (cyt) c. The cyt b mutation A144F has been introduced in yeast by the biolistic method [23].
  • Biolistics using a promoter reporter showed that GA and ABA regulate ICL at the level of transcription [24].
 

Gene context of Biolistics

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Biolistics

  • Transformation efficiency by ATMT in C. neoformans was comparable to either electroporation or biolistic transformation and gave superior efficiencies in serotypes B and C, but unlike Saccharomyces cerevisiae, adenine auxotrophy did not increase ATMT efficiency in C. neoformans or C. gattii [30].
