Interference with the IL-1-Signaling Pathway Improves the Toxicity Profile of Systemically Applied Adenovirus Vectors
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
The safety of gene therapy vectors is a major concern when novel viral or nonviral therapeutics are proposed for applications in humans. Adenovirus (Ad) vectors have been extensively used as efficient gene delivery vehicles in vitro over the last two decades. However, upon i.v. application, they elicit robust innate and inflammatory responses that may be fatal for the host. To date, the primary cytokines and...
