TRANSFERRIN RECEPTOR-MEDIATED GENE TRANSFER TO THE CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM1
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The application of gene therapy to prevent allograft rejection requires the development of noninflammatory vectors. We have therefore investigated the use of a nonviral system, transferrin-mediated lipofection, to transfer genes into the cornea with the aim of preventing corneal graft rejection. METHODS: Rabbit and human corneas were cultured ex vivo and transfected with either lipofection alone or in...
