Patent number: 8642570Abstract: The invention provides a viral self-inactivating (SIN) vector on the basis of the avian sarcoma leukosis virus (ASLV) as well as a split-packaging system comprising in addition to the SIN vector a first helper plasmid serving for the expression of the viral fusion protein gag-pol and a second helper plasmid serving for the expression of the retroviral envelope protein (env). The first and second helper plasmid, for example contained in a packaging cell line or transiently transfected, serve for the generation of non-replicating (RCR-incompetent) viral particles containing RNA having a SIN LTR according to the invention at the 3? terminus, wherein the RNA can have a therapeutically effective section which e.g. is denoted a transgene. This 3? SIN LTR contains an extensive deletion of the U3 region which in the course of the reverse transcription is copied into the 5? LTR. In addition, in the SIN vector all coding regions of ASLV as well as the retroviral splice donor site are removed.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2010Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Medizinische Hochschule HannoverInventors: Axel Schambach, Christopher Baum, Julia Suerth

Publication number: 20070048285Abstract: The invention relates to retroviral vectors, especially to self-inactivating (SIN) gammaretroviral or lentiviral vectors, suitable for producing viral particles at high titers, which can be used for efficient gene transfer into mammalian cells, organs or organisms, e.g. for gene therapy. More specifically, the present invention provides modified 5?-promoter elements in the U3-region of the 5?-LTR of the vector plasmid and 3?-SIN elements modified in the U3-region of the 3?-LTR of the vector plasmid suitable for being comprised in retroviral vectors. It is a specific advantage of both the modified 5?-promoter element and of the modified 3?-SIN element, which are preferably contained in retroviral vectors in combination with one another, to increase both the titer of viral particles as well as to increase the expression of a transgene in recipient cells, which transgene is arranged between the modified LTRs according to the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2006Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Christopher Baum, Axel Schambach, Jens Bohne

Publication number: 20050245088Abstract: A method for determining the anti-reflective coating (or bottom anti-reflective coating) over-etch time adjust with real-time process feedback is presented. The critical dimension CDresist of the patterned photoresist is measured and a first wafer with median values chosen (101) from a lot. A first time t* is found (102) and used to form the desired structure. Using the measured critical dimension of the formed structure on the first wafer a second time tlot is found (104). Finally, an over-etch time t(x) is found and used to etch the remaining wafers in the lot (106).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2005Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: James Friedmann, Christopher Baum
