Inner Ear Transgene Expression after Adenoviral Vector Inoculation in the Endolymphatic Sac

Abstract excerpt

Gene transfer has been performed in a variety of organs. In the mammalian inner ear, viral vectors have been used to introduce exogenous reporter genes via the scala tympani into the cochlea. While scala tympani inoculation is clinically feasible, it is not without risks. Moreover, transgene expression has so far been restricted to the cochlear tissues in the perilymphatic spaces that are contiguous with the...
