Abstract excerpt
We describe a technology developed for the site-specific correction of a single base carried on an episome or chromosome in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Critical to the development of this technology as a therapeutic device for treating genetic disorders, like alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency, is the establishment of a standardized assay to study its mode of action and structure-activity relationships (SARs)....
