Example sentences for: replicons
How can you use “replicons” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Demonstration of long term protein expression by a gp120-expressing replicon alone, of course, does not demonstrate that the chimeric dengue replicons constitute an effective vaccine.
However, when we harvested cultures earlier, at 36 hours post transfection with Δpre-M/E-gp160, intact, fluorescing cells were readily found, though the morphology still appeared atypical compared to either that of cultures transfected with wild type dengue virus and dengue replicons [ 12 ] or the Δpre-M/E-gp120 replicon (see Figure 6).
Flavivirus replicons have previously been demonstrated to express heterologous genes for up to 41 days in tissue culture in Kunjin [ 11 ] . However, these experiments were done in the presence of selection for the heterologous genes cloned into the replicons.
The frequencies and fluorescence intensities of replicon positive cells seen in the experiments reported here are comparable to those seen for dengue replicons lacking heterologous material [ 12 ] , suggesting that replication of the Δpre-M/E replicons containing heterologous material is occurring as well.
Since the replicons reported here lack the major viral structural protein genes, they are not only incapable of sustaining a spreading infection but also are incapable of eliciting antibodies against the missing structural proteins.
