Repair of Articular Cartilage Defect by Intraarticular Administration of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Gene, Using Adeno-Associated Virus Vector
1 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to establish the potency of adeno-associated virus (AAV) as a viral vector to transport the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene into synovial tissue, and to evaluate the consequent repair of articular cartilage defects. In the in vitro study, LacZ- and bFGF-encoding genes were transduced into rabbit synoviocytes by recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, and the...
