We demonstrated that both MmuPV1 E6 and E7 are oncogenic in vitro and in vivo (Preliminary Data). We have also constructed several MmuPV1 mutants (E3ATGko, L1ATGko, L2ATGko and L1+L2ATGKo, E6 and E7 codon modified genomes) that showed different phenotypes in vivo (manuscripts in preparation). In addition, we have developed an in vitro assay system to quantitate viral infectivity and neutralizing…
Genetic testing is also known as DNA testing. It utilizes laboratory methods to study genes and chromosomes, in order to detect the presence of genetic diseases or the mutant forms of genes associated with high probabilities of developing genetic disorders, to design appropriate treatment. There are different types of genetic tests: Diagnostic testing, carrier testing, prenatal testing, pharmacogenomics testing, Research genetic testing and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Families who…
Patients: Are There Predictions for Patient Survivorship?
