Abstract excerpt
Adenovirus transfers genes to a wide range of cell types, but its application to neurons has been hampered by its reduced efficiency of infection as compared with that for glia. To achieve neuron-targeted gene transfer, we have produced an adenovirus carrying the reporter lacZ gene driven by the SCG10 minimum promoter containing the neural-restrictive silencer element (NRSE), which element selectively represses...
