Rescue from Photoreceptor Degeneration in the rd Mouse by Human Immunodeficiency Virus Vector-Mediated Gene Transfer
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal disease, in which photoreceptor cells degenerate, leading to blindness. Mutations in the rod photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase beta subunit (PDEbeta) gene are found in patients with autosomal recessive RP as well as in the rd mouse. We have recently shown that lentivirus vectors based on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 achieve stable and...
