Lentiviral Transfection with the PDGF-B Gene Improves Diabetic Wound Healing
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The treatment of diabetic wounds remains a difficult challenge. The present study investigates whether platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) lentiviral gene therapy can improve diabetic wound healing in the diabetic db/dbmouse. METHODS: PDGF cDNA was cloned and lentiviral vectors were constructed with either the PDGF-B or green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene. A 2 x 2-cm full-thickness dermal wound...
