An overview on modeling h.f. distortion in bipolar transistors is given. "Modeling" includes theoretical investigations, which are generally applicable to bipolar transistors, as well as compact models and their experimental verification for recent SiGe technologies. Also, 1D device simulation results provide additional insight into the mechanisms.
Polymerase of influenza virus is made up of three subunits PB1, PB2, and PA, which are involved in viral genome transcription and replication. Purification of sufficient amounts of viral polymerase is essential to understand the catalytic function of viral polymerase. In this study, we generated a viral polymerase expression system in human embryonic kidney 293T cells (293T cells). The cDNAs for RNA segments 1, 2, and 3, which encode for PB2, PB1, and PA proteins, respectively, were integrated into the mammalian expression plasmids pCAGGS to simultaneously express all viral polymerase proteins in 293T cells. We purified the recombinant polymerases of human influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) (PR8) and avian influenza virus A/Turkey/England/1969 (H3N2) (TE) using anti-FLAG M2 affinity resin. After confirming trimeric complexes, enzymatic properties of recombinant polymerases were characterized, including model viral RNA binding, in vitro transcription assays, and cap-snatching activity upon addition of cap1-70 mer vRNA as substrate. Taken together we conclude that 293T cells are a suitable expression system for sufficient amount isolation of functional recombinant influenza viral polymerases with 95% of purity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
