Cancer Treatment
The present invention provides phagemid vectors and associated phagemid particles for cancer treatment, and in particular, to the use of novel phagemid particles and associated expression systems for the treatment, prevention, amelioration, or management of cancer. In particular, the invention relates to the use of phagemid particles and expression systems for the delivery of transgenes encoding cytokines, for the treatment, prevention, amelioration, or management of cancer. The invention also extends to the use of phagemid particles and expression systems for the delivery of transgenes, and for the combination of such treatment with the use of adoptively transferred T cells, for the treatment, prevention, amelioration, or management of cancer.
Expression and secretion system
The invention provides an expression and secretion system, and methods of using the same, for the expression and secretion of one fusion protein in prokaryotic cells and a second fusion protein in eukaryotic cells. Also provided herein are nucleic acid molecules, vectors and host cells comprising such vectors and nucleic acid molecules.
SINGLE-VECTOR TYPE I VECTORS
The invention relates to the production and use of Cas-encoding sequences and vectors comprising these. Aspects of the invention provide products, vectors, delivery vehicles, uses and methods for producing Cas-encoding sequences in bacterial or archaeal cells.
EPISOMAL DNA VECTORS FOR PLANT GENETIC ENGINEERING
This disclosure pertains to a novel platform for genetic engineering of chloroplasts. The disclosure provides episomal DNA vectors containing a chloroplast origin of replication. These vectors remain extra-plastomic and sustainably and autonomously replicate in chloroplasts of the plant cells transformed with the vectors and in the plants regenerated from the transformed plant cells. The episomal DNA vectors do not contain any sequence that shares sequence homology with the plastome DNA and, thus, do not get integrated into the plastome DNA. The vectors can also comprise one or more genes of interest that confer desirable characteristics to the transformed plant cells. The disclosure also provides methods of transforming plant cells with the episomal DNA vectors and regenerating from the transformed plant cells plants having desirable characteristics. The vectors and methods disclosed herein provide a significant advancement in speed, flexibility, and prospects of introducing genes into plant cells for effective metabolic engineering.
Plants having increased tolerance to herbicides
The present invention provides a plant or plant part comprising a polynucleotide encoding a wildtype or mutant TriA polypeptide, the expression of said polynucleotide confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to herbicides.
METHODS OF RAPID LIGATION-INDEPENDENT CLONING OF DNA AND USES THEROF
The present invention generally relates to improved methods of assembly of two or more DNA fragments, methods of rapid ligation-independent cloning, and kits for rapid ligation-independent cloning and their uses.
Cancer Treatment
