Preparation method of optical waveguide type minicircle resonant cavity humidity sensor coated with TiO2 thin film

The invention belongs to the optical field and the field of micro-nano systems, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an optical waveguide type minicircle resonant cavity humidity sensorcoated with a TiO2 thin film. The optical waveguide type minicircle resonant cavity humidity sensor includes photoetching on an annular resonant cavity, straight waveguide and input and output grating and coating on the TiO2 thin film on a waveguiding structure. By means of the unique ambulatory mode effect of a minicircle resonant cavity prepared on the SOI waveguide, an optical wave performs resonance in a minicircle, the stable resonance phenomenon can be observed by means of a spectrometer, when the relative humidity of the external world changes, a humidity sensitive thin film absorbs water, the resonant cavity refractive index changes, and then an output spectral line observed on the spectrometer performs wave length shift, and measurement of the humidity is completed. Compared withan ordinary humidity sensor, the optical waveguide type minicircle resonant cavity humidity sensor has the advantages of being easy to operate, low in cost, small in volume, short in reaction time, high in flexibility and not prone to electromagnet interference, and therefore the sensor has the extremely high application value.

A method for high level and stable gene transfer in lymphocytes

The method disclosed herein describes a novel technology offering unparalleled efficiency, flexibility, utility and speed for the stable integration of transgenes into lymphocytes and other mammalian cells. The novel method is based on the use of an mRNA-encoded transposase (e.g. sleeping beauty transposase) in combination with a minicircle DNA-encoded transposable element. The novel method enables higher gene-transfer rates and is at the same time less toxic than the conventional approach, which is the use of plasmid DNA-encoded transposase in combination with a plasmid DNA-encoded transposable element. Applications of the invention include but are not limited to the stable integration of a transgene encoding an immune receptor (e.g. a T-cell receptor or synthetic chimeric antigen receptor) into human T lymphocytes, with the immune receptor conferring specificity for a molecule expressed by a tumor cell. The transposase mRNA and transposon minicircle DNA may be introduced into lymphocytes by methods including but not limited to electrotransfer such as electroporation and nucleofection.

Minicircle gene vector and its preparation method and use

The invention discloses a minicircle gene vector and its preparation method and use. The minicircle gene vector does not contain a backbone DNA ingredient which can close transgene expression and is in a standard plasmid. The minicircle gene vector comprises a promoter, an ingredient for gene expression and virus replication in a viral genome, and a transgene or a transgene expression box for expression of a treatment transgenosis product. The ingredient for gene expression and virus replication in a viral genome is cloned into a vector so that the combined chimeric minicircle gene vector is obtained. After being fed into a target cell infected by viruses, a small amount of the minicircle gene vectors can produce recombinant viruses having treatment and infection effects. Through infecting a new target cell, the recombinant viruses produce new recombinant viruses having infection effects, and finally, the recombinant viruses diffuse to all target cells. Compared with the traditional gene vectors, the minicircle gene vector can be efficiently delivered into a target cell and has strong and lasting treatment effects. The invention also provides a preparation method and a use of the minicircle gene vector.

Personalized Medicine Therapeutic MiniCircle

Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) have emerged as a class of promising anti-cancer and anti-infection biological drugs. They are capable of killing target cells, either cancer cells or microbe-infected cells, at levels of nanograms per milliliter serum in vivo, about 1e+5 folds more powerful than regular antibodies. To bypass the problems of high cost in production and inconvenience in administration, a logical solution is to use gene therapy vectors to produce them in vivo. In a series of preclinical studies, we have demonstrated that DNA MiniCircle was able to express far above therapeutic levels of bsAB persistently both in the presence as well as the absence of transfection co-factors. As a specific and intended improvement of the claimed invention, an enhanced form of bispecific antibodies incorporating a target cell-effector cell bridging device (BTEC) is additionally disclosed.

Nonviral minicircle vector carrying SOX gene and construction method therefor

The present invention relates to a non-viral minicircle vector expressing a SOX gene, a stem cell into which the vector is introduced, a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a cartilage disease, including the stem cell, and a method for constructing the vector. The transformation of mesenchymal stem cells with MC / SOX-Trio or MC / SOX-Duo, which is a non-viral minicircle vector according to the present invention, can completely exclude the necessity of expensive growth factors that have been indispensably used in inducing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into chondrocytes. Accordingly, the mesenchymal stem cells transformed therewith, when implanted in vivo, can differentiate into chondrocytes by themselves, and thus have an advantage capable of simplifying the existing complicated steps of culturing cells to induce differentiation and then transplanting the cells.Further, unlike existing vector systems in which antibiotic-resistant genes and other bacteria-derived exogenous genes are simultaneously transferred to cells even after transformation, the vector of the present invention minimizes transfer of unnecessary genes into target cells by allowing two or three SOX genes necessary only for differentiation into chondrocytes to be regulated under one promoter, and thus can be utilized as a non-viral vector system in the most advantageous form for use in clinical application of stem cell-gene therapeutic agents.
