ABSTRACT
This review aims at offering an up-to-date comprehensive summary of carbon fibers (CFs)-based composites, with the emphasis on smart assembly and purpose-driven specific functionalization for their critical applications associated with flexible sensors. We first give a brief introduction to CFs as a versatile building block for preparation of mutil-fountional materials and the current status of research studies on CFs. This is followed by addressing some crucial methods of preparation of CFs. We then summarize multiple possibilities of functionalising CFs, an evaluation of some key applications of CFs in the areas of flexible biosensors was also carried out.
ABSTRACT
This paper is aimed to investigate the transcription and expression of BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA fusion gene vaccines in vivo in mice. The reconstructed plasmids (BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA) which were developed previously in our laboratory were injected into the skeletal muscles of BALB/c mice at 14d intervals for three cycles. The transcription and expression of BCR-ABL and staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) in injection site were detected using RT-PCR and immunohistological methods. The BCR-ABL/SEA mRNA and protein could be identified in the injection site of BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA vaccinated mice. The reconstructed BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA plasmids can effectively express gene production in the skeletal muscles of mice and have the common features of DNA vaccine.
