Muscular Gene Transfer Using Nonviral Vectors
1 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle is a target tissue of choice for the gene therapy of both muscle and non-muscle disorders. Investigations of gene transfer into muscle have progressed considerably from the expression of plasmid reporter genes to the production of therapeutic proteins such as trophic factors, hormones, antigens, ion channels or cytoskeletal proteins. Viral vectors are intrinsically the most efficient vehicles to...
