Vino Terms Flashcards
Aneuploidy
nondisjunction during meiosis
Monosomy XO
Turner syndrome (sperm has the problem)
Monosomy YO
lethal in embryo
Trisomy XXX
in female, no problems, 2 Barr bodies
Trisomy XXY
in male, Klinefelter syndrome, low sperm production
Trisomy XYY
in male, Jacobs syndrome, generally fertile
Retroviruses
ssRNA, enveloped, high oncogenic ability, low cytotoxic inflammatory response
Adenoviruses
dsDNA, non enveloped, high cytotoxic inflammatory response
Adeno-associated viruses
ssDNA, non enveloped, low inflammatory response, low oncogenic abilities
Herpes simplex viruses
dsDNA, enveloped, able to affect neurons, not rejected by immune system
Nonviral methods
chemical uptake with calcium phosphate, physical electroporation, injection of naked plasmid DNA, membrane fusion with liposomes, poly-K PEG DNA nanoparticles, receptor mediated uptake
Adenosine deaminase deficiency
caused by a defect in a single gene, gene is regulated in “always on” fashion
Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency
severe immune response to adenoviral vector
Killer T cells
treatment of melanoma, modified T cells using ex vivo retrovirus to attack to attack the cancer cells
Gendicine
delivers p53 tumor suppressor gene
Glybera
treat lipoprotein lipase deficiency
Kymriah
treat children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Luxturna
first in vivo, cure for levers congenital amaurosis
Zolgensma
for pediatric patients, for spinal muscular atrophy, based on Adeno-associated virus vector
Restriction sites
specific sequence of DNA that can be cut by endonucleases
Blunt ends
done by endonucleases, cut the DNA in the same spot on both strands
Stick ends
done by endonucleases, cut DNA at different spots on each strand
PCR steps
denaturation of DNA helix, anneal forward and reverse primers, extension of primers
