Abstract excerpt
We have investigated whether by introducing a mutated p21 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor through a standard type 5 adenovirus (Ad), it would be possible to interfere with restenosis in hypercholesterolemic apolipoprotein E knockout mice. Restenosis is a clinically relevant, undesired effect of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). A critical event underlying restenosis is smooth muscle cell...
