10 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although the transient nature of transgene expression using first-generation adenovirus (Ad) vectors is well known, the exact mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are uncertain. METHODS: Rats were given intramuscular (i.m.) injections of a first-generation Ad containing the human fibroblast growth factor 4 (hFGF-4) gene driven by the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter and enhancer (CMV-PE). The copy...
