Abstract excerpt
Success in controlling hyperglycemia in type I diabetics will require a restoration of basal insulin. To this end, three plasmid DNAs (pDNA) encoding preproinsulin were compared for constitutive expression and processing to insulin in nonendocrine cells in vitro. The pDNAs were designed to express rat proinsulin I (VR-3501), rat proinsulin I with the B10 aspartic acid point mutation (VR-3502), and a derivative of...
