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, we have previously argued that the replication of dengue replicons could not take place in the absence of the essential non-structural gene, NS1, which implies that NS1 is being made.
Previously we have reported the successful construction of several dengue virus replicons which replicate intracellularly without the pre-M and E proteins required to form infectious virions, including one replicon which can be expressed from transfected DNA [ 12 ] . Towards the goal of devising a "live" dual vaccine based on only non-structural dengue proteins and heterologous HIV material, we report here that these replicons can be harnessed to express heterologous genes, including HIV gp160 and gp120.
Much work obviously remains to be done to develop dengue replicons as effective vectors for HIV immunogens.
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).
