Intercellular Trafficking of Adenovirus-Delivered HSV VP22 from the Retinal Pigment Epithelium to the Photoreceptors—Implications for Gene Therapy
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Adenovirus (Ad)-mediated gene transfer is a promising technology for therapy of a wide variety of genetic disorders of the retina. The tropism of Ad vectors limits their utility to cells that express the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor. Upon ocular delivery, Ad vectors primarily infect the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the Müller cells of the retina. However, the most frequent blinding diseases such as...
