Extractions: Tour and Introduction Welcome to Molecular Microbiology and Immunology Research in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology reflects the strength and diversity of its faculty through a unifying focus of the study of host-pathogen interactions, especially in the area of virology. Areas of interest include viral pathogenesis, immunology, molecular and cellular biology, vaccine development (discovery and clinical trials), biodefense, and cancer gene therapy. The virology program is one of the strongest in the USA, and it encompasses research on adenoviruses, flaviviruses, hepatitis B and C viruses, herpesviruses (herpes simplex virus, Varicella Zoster virus), HIV, and poxviruses (including model studies for smallpox). Other research addresses parasites (T. cruzi), fungi, cell cycle regulation, programmed cell death (apoptosis), and the role of mitochondrial mutations in disease. MMI Key Features

http://cis.nci.nih.gov/fact/7_18.htm

Extractions: Search Date reviewed: 6/7/2000 What are genes Genes are the biological units of heredity. Genes determine obvious traits, such as hair and eye color, as well as more subtle characteristics, such as the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. Complex traits, such as physical strength, may be shaped by the interaction of a number of different genes along with environmental influences. A gene is part of a deoxyribonucleic acid DNA molecule . Humans have between 50,000 and 100,000 genes. Genes carry instructions that allow the cells to produce specific proteins such as enzymes . Only certain genes in a cell are active at any given moment. As cells mature, many genes become permanently inactive. The pattern of active and inactive genes in a cell and the resulting protein composition determine what kind of cell it is and what it can and cannot do. Flaws in genes can result in disease. What is gene therapy and what are its objectives? Advances in understanding and manipulating genes have set the stage for scientists to alter patients' genetic material to fight or prevent disease. Gene therapy is an experimental medical intervention that involves modifying the genetic material of living cells to fight disease.

Extractions: Last Updated March, 2002 I. Background On September 14, 1990 researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health performed the first (approved) gene therapy procedure on four-year old Ashanti DeSilva. Born with a rare genetic disease called severe combined immune deficiency (SCID), she lacked a healthy immune system, and was vulnerable to every passing germ. Children with this illness usually develop overwhelming infections and rarely survive to adulthood; a common childhood illness like chickenpox is life-threatening. Ashanti led a cloistered existenceavoiding contact with people outside her family, remaining in the sterile environment of her home, and battling frequent illnesses with massive amounts of antibiotics. In Ashanti's gene therapy procedure, doctors removed white blood cells from the child's body, let the cells grow in the lab, inserted the missing gene into the cells, and then infused the genetically modified blood cells back into the patient's bloodstream. Laboratory tests have shown that the therapy strengthened Ashanti's immune system; she no longer has recurrent colds, she has been allowed to attend school, and she was immunized against whooping cough. This procedure was not a cure; the white blood cells treated genetically only work for a few months, and the process must be repeated every few months.

Report And Recommendations Of The Panel To Assess The NIH Investment In Research
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PANEL TO ASSESS THE NIH INVESTMENT IN RESEARCHON gene therapy. The rationale for gene therapy of human disease.
http://www.nih.gov/news/panelrep.html

Extractions: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PANEL TO ASSESS THE NIH INVESTMENT IN RESEARCH ON GENE THERAPY Stuart H. Orkin, M.D. Arno G. Motulsky, M.D. Co-chairs December 7, 1995 Dr. Harold Varmus, Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH), appointed an ad hoc committee to assess the current status and promise of gene therapy and provide recommendations regarding future NIH-sponsored research in this area. The Panel was asked specifically to comment on how funds and efforts should be distributed among various research areas and what funding mechanisms would be most effective in meeting research goals. The Panel finds that 1. Somatic gene therapy is a logical and natural progression in the application of fundamental biomedical science to medicine and offers extraordinary potential, in the long-term, for the management and correction of human disease, including inherited and acquired disorders, cancer, and AIDS. The concept that gene transfer might be used to treat disease is founded on the remarkable advances of the past two decades in recombinant DNA technology. The types of diseases under consideration for gene therapy are diverse; hence, many different treatment strategies are being investigated, each with its own set of scientific and clinical challenges. 2. While the expectations and the promise of gene therapy are great, clinical efficacy has not been definitively demonstrated at this time in any gene therapy protocol, despite anecdotal claims of successful therapy and the initiation of more than 100 Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC)-approved protocols.
