Gene transfer technology either with the aid of viral vectors or in the form of naked DNA has been used extensively in recent years to elucidate mechanisms regulating vascular function and blood pressure. Preliminary data generated by project investigators with the help of the Core director indicate that this technology provides useful tools to each of the program project components. The core director collaborated with project investigators for more than ten years and recently produced and delivered recombinant retroviruses expression vectors and viruses (adenoviruses and retroviruses) containing primarily the CYP4A and HO genes for in vitro and in vivo studies proposed by the project investigators. The core will perform the following functions; 1) construct recombinant CYP4A, HO and COX-2 adenoviruses and retroviruses using commercially available vectors with and without GFP or beta-gal tagging; 2) adenoviruses and retroviruses using commercially available vectors with and without GRP or beta-gal tagging; 2) isolate and purify and propagate recombinant viral vectors; 3) determine titers and maintains stocks of recombinant viral vectors; 4) maintain stocks of the various plasmids and competent and packaging cells; 5) develop vectors carrying tissue and cell lineage specific promoters; and 6) provide the resources and expertise to each investigator for evaluating transgene expression and work along with the project investigators in validating transgene expression in vitro and in vivo using RT/PCR, Southern blot analysis and detection of GFP or beta-gal. Project investigators will be supported by the core director and the technical staff in the generation and production of molecular reagents, experimental design and data interpretation.

近年来，基因转移技术借助病毒载体或以裸DNA的形式被广泛用于阐明调节血管功能和血压的机制。项目调查人员在核心主管的帮助下生成的初步数据表明，该技术为每个程序项目组件提供了有用的工具。核心主管与项目研究人员合作了十多年，最近生产和交付了重组逆转录病毒表达载体和病毒（腺病毒和逆转录病毒），该病毒主要含有CYP4A和HOE，用于该项目研究人员提出的体外和体内研究。核心将执行以下功能； 1）使用有或没有GFP或Beta-Gal标记的市售媒介构建重组CYP4A，HO和COX-2腺病毒和逆转录病毒； 2）使用和不带有GRP或Beta-Gal标记的市售载体的腺病毒和逆转录病毒； 2）分离和纯化并传播重组病毒载体； 3）确定滴度并维护重组病毒载体的库存； 4）维持各种质粒以及胜任和包装细胞的库存； 5）开发携带组织和细胞谱系特定启动子的载体； 6）为每个研究者提供资源和专业知识，以评估转基因表达，并与项目研究人员一起使用RT/PCR，Southern印迹分析和GFP或Beta-Gal的检测来验证转基因表达和体内。项目调查人员将得到分子试剂，实验设计和数据解释的生成和生产的核心主管和技术人员的支持。
