  • Compositions and methods for treating cells having double minute DNA
    Patent number: 6946259
    Abstract: This invention provides methods by which test substances can be screened for their ability to inhibit, enhance or eliminate double minute (DM) or extrachromosomal DNA by micronucleation in cells. This invention also provides a method for inducing maturation or death of a cell having the capacity to generate micronuclei. It also provides a method of treating a disease in a subject, the cells correlated with the disease having DM and extrachromosomal DNA as well as the capacity to generate micronuclei to capture them. Further provided is a method of detecting chromosomal and extrachromosomal DNA in a cell.

  • Double-stranded cyclic dna capable of proliferating as a bacterial e coli chromosome
    Publication number: 20050106733
    Abstract: (PROBLEM) To establish a system enabling modification and proliferation of EB virus circular DNA in Escherichia coli and large-scale production of recombinant EB virus virions in the cells. (Means for Resolution) The present invention enables modification and proliferation of a circular EB virus genome derived from Akata cells in Escherichia coli by inserting a DNA sequence of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) into a circular EB virus DNA in Akata cells via homologous recombination. The recombinant EB virus can be produced in a large quantity by introducing the resulting genomic DNA into Akata cells.
