The classification of states based on good quantum numbers for the two-dimensional Coulomb problem is proposed. The first order magnetic energy corrections are calculated using exact field-free analytic solutions of the Dirac equation as a zero-order approximation.

This paper reviews the principles of the AAV vectors' generation. It describes various methods for their production and purification, as well as ways for increasing the efficiency and selectivity of the transduction by means of capsid modifications and use of various AAV serotypes. The second part of the article briefs clinical trials carried out so far with the use of the AAV vectors, particularly emphasizing the differences between feasibilities of vectors based on AAV and other virus types.

Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are promising tools for gene therapy. However, for trustworthy comparison of the results produced from different clinical trials, the exact amount of the used infectious vector particles must be known. We have produced AAV using a commercially available system and compared three common methods for the quantification of the number of produced vectors: ELISA, dot-blot and quantitavive PCR (qPCR). Although ELISA is a very reproducible and precise method, it is able only to determine the number of viral capsids in the vector preparation, also those which contain no genetic material and are therefore useless. With this method we established that we are able to produce ~ 6.5 x 1011 viral capsids/mL. Dot-blot assay determines the number of genomic particles in the vector preparation in a quite precise manner, but it is a very labor- and time-consuming method. qPCR is also a method determining the number of genomic particles. It is, however, much faster and simpler than the dot-blot assay. Both dot-blot and qPCR gave similar results (~ 4 x 1011 viral genomes/mL), which indicated only about 2/3 of the produced vectors containing genetic material. Our results show that qPCR is the most convenient and reliable method for quantification of AAV vectors and we believe it could be routinely used to titer the vectors prior to their usage in clinical trials.

The effect of different doses of -galactoside (RFOs) preparations from Pisum sativum L. cv. Opal, injected into eggs during embryogenesis, on maintaining a high number of bifidobacteria, selected chicken broiler traits and the lipoprotein level of blood were studied. Two independent experiments were conducted. In the first, Ringer water solution containing 1.763 mg/egg of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) (I group), 2.1158 mg of pea RFO preparation containing 20% sucrose (II group) and 0.4232 mg of sucrose (III group) were injected into Hubbard broiler breeder eggs containing 12-day old embryos. Only Ringer water solution was applied to the eggs of the control group (IV group). The number of bifidobacteria determined in faeces of two-day old chicken of groups I and II was significantly higher in comparison with the sucrose and control groups. The high level of bifidobacteria of groups I and II was maintained during 6 weeks. The dose of both preparations had no influence on the body weight, carcass, breast muscle, leg and abdominal fat ratio, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL serum concentrations. Broiler mortality and breast muscle cholesterol concentration was highest (P<0.05) for the control group. On the other hand, the European Production Index, as well as serum triglycerides, were the lowest for this group. The second experiment was performed on Hybro G chicken breeder eggs. 0.69, 3.43 and 6.87 mg/egg of pea RFO preparation doses containing 20% sucrose were injected into the experimental groups. The number of bifidobacteria in the caecum and selected meat traits of broilers were determined. The results of this experiment confirmed that RFO injection in ovo causes the long-time maintenance of a high level of bifidobacteria. The dose of the preparations does not have any effect on the selected broiler meat traits, except that the highest dose increases the percent of carcase in body weight. However, this dose reduced the hatchability of the treated embryos.

One of the conditions of effective gene therapy is the choice of a proper gene carrier that will efficiently deliver the genetic material to the damaged tissue without causing deleterious side-effects. Adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) have emerged as attractive tools for gene therapy, because of their broad tissue tropism, long-term transgene expression, and lack of human pathology. Nevertheless, difficulty in preparing and purifying this viral vector in large quantities remains a major obstacle for evaluating AAV vectors in clinical trials. In this article, we compare different methods for AAV production in order to optimize the conditions of AAV preparation to the scale and purity required for clinical and potential commercial applications.
