Two Key Challenges for Effective Adenovirus-Mediated Liver Gene Therapy:Innate Immune Responses and Hepatocyte-Specific Transduction
1 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Adenovirus (Ad) are valuable vectors for liver gene therapy because of their intrinsic ability to transduce hepatocytes following intravenous administration. However, the effective application of these vectors, including helper-dependent Ad unable to trigger viral gene expression, for liver gene therapy in humans has been limited due to several obstacles. First, their high immunogenicity triggers a complex immune...
