Widespread and early myocardial gene expression by adeno-associated virus vector type 6 with a β-actin hybrid promoter
9 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Gene therapy for acute cardiac events such as myocardial infarction requires early gene expression over an entire region of myocardium, which has not been possible using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to date. Here we demonstrate marked improvement in the distribution and rapidity of gene expression in myocardium using the AAV pseudotype 6 (AAV6) vector, compared to the standard serotype 2 (AAV2) vector. An...
