Synthetic Genes for the Treatment of Propionic Acidemia (PA) Caused by Mutations in Propionyl-coA Carboxylase Alpha (PCCA)

Propionic acidemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by mutations in either PCCA or PCCB. The products of these genes form the alpha and beta subunits of the enzyme propionyl-Co A carboxylase (PCC), a critically important mitochondrial enzyme involved in the catabolism of branched chain amino acids. NHGRI scientist have developed...

Real-Time PCR Assay for Detection of Carbapenem Antibiotic Resistance Genes of the IMP-type

Antibiotic resistance is one of the world's most pressing health concerns. ß-lactamases, such as carbapenemases, are enzymes produced by bacteria that provide resistance to multiple ß-lactam antibiotics (e.g., penicillins, cephamycins, and carbapenems) by breaking down the antibiotic molecules and deactivating their antibacterial properties. Carbapenems...

A Novel Virus-Based Expression System

The present invention is related to a recombinant viral vector for vaccines. Currently available poxvirus vectors for humans and other animals exhibit suboptimal expression of recombinant gene(s) and high expression of vector proteins which causes weak immunogenicity and high anti-vector immune response. The present novel virus-based expression vectors...

Parvovirus B19 Codon Optimized Structural Proteins for Vaccine and Diagnostic Applications

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is the only known pathogenic human parvovirus. Infection by this viral pathogen can cause transient aplastic crisis in individuals with high red cell turnover, pure red cell aplasia in immunosuppressed patients, and hydrops fetalis during pregnancy. In children, B19V most commonly causes erythema infectiosum, or fifth's disease....
