Therapeutic Levels of Factor IX Expression Using a Muscle-Specific Promoter and Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype 1 Vector
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Extensive studies in animal models of the X-linked bleeding disorder hemophilia B (deficiency in functional coagulation factor IX, F.IX) have shown that muscle-directed adeno-associated (AAV)-mediated F.IX gene transfer can be used to treat this disease. However, large vector doses of AAV-2 vector are required for therapeutic levels of expression, and the number of vector doses that can be injected per...
