Multiply Attenuated, Self-Inactivating Lentiviral Vectors Efficiently Deliver and Express Genes for Extended Periods of Time in Adult Rat Cardiomyocytes In Vivo
12 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Among retroviral vectors, lentiviral vectors are unique in that they transduce genes into both dividing and nondividing cells. However, their ability to provide sustained myocardial transgene expression has not been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS: Multiply attenuated, self-inactivating lentivectors based on human immunodeficiency virus-1 contained the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene...
