Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Endothelium is an important target for gene therapy. We have investigated the effect of viral and nonviral vectors on the phenotype and function of endothelial cells (ECs) and developed methods to block any activation caused by these vectors. METHODS AND RESULTS: Transduction of ECs with viral vectors, including adenovirus, lentiviruses, and Moloney murine leukemia virus, can induce a pro-inflammatory...
