Disease-Inducible Transgene Expression from a Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus Vector in a Rat Arthritis Model

Abstract excerpt

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease affecting 1% of the world's population, with significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, we investigated a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector for its potential application in RA gene therapy. rAAV encoding Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase was injected into rat joints which had already been induced into acute arthritis after local...
