Abstract: The present invention provides nucleic acid, vectors, viruses, and recombinant cells comprising triple-stranded structures, such as those resulting from central initiation and termination of HIV-1 reverse transcription at the center of HIV-1 linear DNA genomes. These triplex structures can act as a cis-determinant of HIV-1 DNA nuclear import, allowing infection of non-dividing target cells. In one aspect, the presence of the DNA triplex sequence in an HIV vector strongly stimulates gene transfer in hematopoietic stem cells. The invention also provides methods of using these triplex structures for making recombinant cells, as well as methods of using the recombinant cells to express proteins of interest both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shock absorber (1), in particular for a motor vehicle, which comprises: a cylinder (2) containing a hydraulic fluid; a main piston (4) actuated by a rod (3), defining in the cylinder a first main chamber (5) and a second main chamber (6), the second main chamber containing the rod; a hydraulic fluid vessel (24); and a valve (11) placed in the flow of the hydraulic fluid between the first main chamber and the second main chamber or between the first main chamber and the vessel. The valve comprises a mobile gate (14) engaging with a seat (13), a spring (20) tending to urge the gate against the seat thereof, and a mobile valve piston (17, 78), defining a first valve chamber (18, 82) and a second valve chamber (19, 83) in the valve, said mobile valve piston being capable of compressing the spring and closing the gate.
