Guangzhou sets up human genome cloning banks
www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-10 17:34:45
Chinanews, Apr. 10 �C The Guangzhou Funeng Gene Co., Ltd. has recently
develped on its own cloning bank and a highly efficiently expressed
cloning bank, as highly effective medium carriers for the
multi-functional coding protein of human full-length cDNA. The two banks
can help study the relation of interactive functions between proteins in
viruses such as SARS, bird flu and hepatitis B viruses, and proteins in a
human body. Study of the interactions between virus proteins and human
proteins is helpful for scientists in their research of producing more
effective vaccines against these viruses.
Experts say the establishment of the two banks has a great significance
in biomedicine research and its development, in that it forms as a
technological platform and lays a material basis for improving China��s
own biomedicine researchcapability, especially in Guangdong province. By
using the technologies of the two banks, scientists can study the
interaction between proteins in viruses such as SARS, bird flu and
hepatitis B, and proteins inside human bodies. The study will help
scientists to develop vaccines that can prohibit disease causative
agents, find methods that can quickly diagnose these diseases and
medicines that can treat them.
The highly efficiently expressed cloning bank for human full-length DNA
was a research achievement made by Dr. Yang Shuwei, who once studied in
the United States and came back to China to set up his own company, the
Guangzhou Funeng Gene Co., Ltd., in 2000. The bank provides a
technological platform for the study of human genome, currently the
world��s hottest research discipline in the bio-technology field, as well
as the study of proteins.
Scientists working in world-class universities and laboratories will
appraise the application of these medium carriers and the cloning system
after they are delivered as products into the international market.
