In vitro and in vivo comparative study of chimeric liver-specific promoters
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Targeting therapeutic genes to the liver is essential to improve gene therapy protocols of hepatic diseases and of some hereditary disorders. Transcriptional targeting can be achieved using liver-specific promoters. In this study we have made chimeric constructs combining promoter and enhancer regions of the albumin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, hepatitis B virus core protein, and hemopexin genes. Tissue specificity,...
