The backbone of the Guelfs was in communes such as Florence and Genoa.
First, our viral backbone is a modified MoMLV vector that incorporates genetic elements (myeloproliferative sarcoma virus long-terminal repeats and B2 mutation) associated with resistance to transcriptional silencing following proviral integration in primary cells [ 7 8 ] . While we did not perform a detailed comparison of EGFP expression in FLS using the modified and unmodified vector backbones, preliminary experiments suggested that the modified vector was superior (J Yang, unpublished observations).
The importance of such bonds for activity was shown in other work, where huAPE1's binding to the DNA backbone is only inhibited by ethylation of the phosphates two and three positions 3' to an abasic site [ 18 ] . Mutation of R177A, at the end of Molego 6, that binds to this region and to the bases opposite the AP-site had enhanced activity [ 11 ] , while mutations at W280 (Molego 11) and F266 (Molego 10) [ 33 ] reduce activity and, in the latter case, substrate selectivity.
The adenovirus (AV) backbone for the aquaporin-1 (AQP1) sense and antisense AV constructs was a replication-deficient "first-generation" AV with deletions of the E1 and E3 genes [ 26 ] . This "empty" AV contains the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter and bovine growth hormone polyadenylation (bHG) site separated by a polylinker that was used to clone AQP1 DNA as described previously [ 27 ] . A recombinant AQP1 virus was constructed using a plasmid containing the coding sequence for AQP1, pCHIPev [ 28 ] . pCHIPev was digested and the AQP1 insert was subcloned into the shuttle vector pSKAC, creating pSKAC/AQP1.
To lump these small companies, many of which are family-owned businesses with fewer than 500 employees, in with the artificial moniker of "big business" (itself a populist tool of the left) is a disservice to the men and women whose efforts form the backbone of one-quarter of our economy.
