Sustained Expression of Naked Plasmid Dna Encoding Hepatocyte Growth Factor in Mice Promotes Liver and Overall Body Growth
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
To understand the physiological functions of exogenous hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on normal adult animals, we delivered human HGF gene into mice by a hydrodynamics-based in vivo gene transfection approach using a naked plasmid vector. Systemic administration of naked plasmid containing HGF cDNA driven under cytomegalovirus promoter (pCMV-HGF) by rapid injection via the tail vein produced a remarkable level of...
