Adeno-Associated Vector (Type 8)-Mediated Expression of Soluble Flt-1 Efficiently Inhibits Neovascularization in a Murine Choroidal Neovascularization Model
6 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
To assess the feasibility of a gene therapeutic approach to treating choroidal neovascularization (CNV), we generated a recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector (type 8) encoding soluble Flt-1 (AAV-sflt-1), and determined its ability to inhibit angiogenesis. When we treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with the supernatant of cells transduced with AAV-sflt-1 or AAV-EGFP (control), we...
