| - | Therapy using viral vectors is an promising approach for....
| |
| - | In an first step the plasmids of the AAV-2 Helper-free System were genetically modifyed by converting it into BioBricks and inserting of targeting molecules into the constructs. These plasmids were then used to transfect the producer cell line AAV-293. After an incubation of three days the viral vectors were harvested and used to transduce different target cells. The succesful transduction can then for example be measured by detecting the fluorescence of fluorescent proteins in the target cells.<br><br>
| |
| - | The majority of the modifications that were introduced into the viral vector aimed to allow differential targeting of tumor cell over healthy off-target cells.

| |
| - | Employment of viral vectors for means of therapy is idea in the context of personalized medicie that gets more and more interest. In such applications the reduction of side effects and the safety of the patient in general is of the highest priority.<br>
| |
| - | In order to satisfy this requirement we designed our Therapy Vector with several layers of Specificity:<br>
| |
| - | <ul><li>The targeting of the viral vector towards the desired target cell (e.g. tumor cells) is the basic idea behind the emplyment of viral vectors for therapeutical means. There for the natural tropismn has to be knocked down and a desired tropism has to be introduced that allows differential targeting of pathological but not of off-target cells. To fulfill this mission our Virus Construction Kit offers you different solutions.</li>
| |
| - | <li>Off-target cells that were transduced by mistake can be preserved from an undesired therapy effect when the therapeutic gene is controley by a tissue specific promoter. For this mean a promoter has to be used that is as specific for the pathological tissue as possible. We included the human telomerase promoter (<a href=http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K404106>phTERT</a>) which is often activated in tumor cells and is there for able to allow differential experssion of a therapeutic geneproduct in pathological cells.</li>
| |
| - | <li>For reasons of safety Therapeutic vector do not directly trigger appoptosis in the successfully targeted cells. To include one further layer of specificity and safety we decided to arm our therapy vector with different prodrug convertases. Neither the single application of the harmless prodrug nor the single expression of the convertase has a noteworthy effect of the transduced cell. Only in cells that express the prodrug convertase and have a sufficient cytoplasmatic concentration of the belonging prodrug apoptosis is triggered. This dependency of the therapy on a prodrug can be employed to protect tissues or other persons that could come in contact with the therapeutical vector. This aspect was specially inportant for the development of a viral vector that is able to infect humans in the context of a undergraduate project for the iGEM competition. Therefor this approach gained our preference over other possibly equivalent arming possibilities described in the tumor therapy with viral vectors.</li></ul>
