Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Isolated transduced cells exhibiting FRDA characteristics in an inducible fashion are disclosed. Isolated transduced cells comprise an expression vector having a nucleic acid sequence encoding an shRNA for frataxin protein knockdown and a heterologous expression control sequence. Additionally, methods of screening for a candidate therapeutic agent for treating Friedreich's Ataxia using isolated transduced cells are disclosed. Further, a recombinant nucleic acid construct for frataxin knockdown is disclosed that comprises a nucleic acid encoding an shRNA operably linked to a heterologous expression control sequence and expressing an shRNA molecule in a dose-responsive fashion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A recombinant nucleic acid construct for frataxin knockdown comprising a nucleic acid encoding an shRNA, wherein the shRNA comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2 and SEQ ID NO: 3, wherein the shRNA is operably linked to a heterologous expression control sequence. 2. The recombinant nucleic acid construct of claim 1 wherein the heterologous expression control sequence is selected from the gro…
