AAV serotype 1 mediates more efficient gene transfer to pig myocardium than AAV serotype 2 and plasmid
29 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has many properties of an ideal vector for delivery of therapeutic genes into the myocardium. Previous studies in a mouse model of myocardial infarction showed that AAV serotype 1 (AAV1) is superior to AAV serotypes 2-5 to transfer genes into the myocardium by direct injection. Since vectors may behave differently in humans and because the human and the pig hearts resemble each other...
