Gene Synthesis> | … Codon-optimized EBOV GP Mayinga gene was synthesized by GenScript (Piscataway, NJ) and placed under a tetracycline-controlled cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter into plasmid pcDNA5/TO-puro using BamHI and EcoRI sites to generate the plasmid pcDNA5/TO-puro EBOV … | Get A Quote |
Ebolaviruses are highly virulent pathogens that cause Ebola viral disease (EVD). Data from non-human primate (NHP) models and from human survivors of EVD suggest that anti-Ebola antibodies play an integral role in protection. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a potential mechanism through which anti-Ebola antibodies may mediate protection. We developed a robust Ebola-specific ADCC assay for use in ongoing trials of Ebola vaccines. Stable cell lines for inducible Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein (EBOV GP) expression were developed to provide a uniform source of target cells in the assay, and were combined with an existing human natural killer (NK) cell line as the effector cell. When applied... More
