Abstract excerpt
Gene transfer vectors based on lentiviruses can transduce terminally differentiated cells in the brain; however, their ability to reverse established behavioral deficits in animal models of neurodegeneration has not previously been tested. When recombinant feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-based vectors expressing beta-glucuronidase were unilaterally injected into the striatum of adult beta-glucuronidase...
