Abstract excerpt
We explored the potential of using a bacteriophage integrase system to achieve site-specific genome integration of murine phenylalanine hydroxylase cDNA in the livers of phenylketonuric (PKU) mice. The phiBT1 phage integrase is an enzyme that catalyses the efficient recombination between unique sequences in the phage and bacterial genomes, leading to the site-specific integration of the former into the latter in...
