Complete Prevention of Atherosclerosis in ApoE-Deficient Mice by Hepatic Human ApoE Gene Transfer With Adeno-Associated Virus Serotypes 7 and 8
9 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Using intravenous injection of adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors based on novel serotypes 7 and 8, we examined whether liver-specific expression of human apolipoprotein E (apoE) in apoE-deficient mice would completely prevent atherosclerosis after 1 year of sustained expression. METHODS AND RESULTS: Chow-fed apoE-/- mice were injected via the tail vein with vectors based on AAV2 or novel serotypes...
