Stem Cell–Mediated Transfer of a Human Artificial Chromosome Ameliorates Muscular Dystrophy
17 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
In contrast to conventional gene therapy vectors, human artificial chromosomes (HACs) are episomal vectors that can carry large regions of the genome containing regulatory elements. So far, HACs have not been used as vectors in gene therapy for treating genetic disorders. Here, we report the amelioration of the dystrophic phenotype in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) using a combination of...
