Abstract excerpt
The success of gene therapy in the ocular environment is partly due to the presence of hyaluronan in vitreous. Here we explore the mechanism of hyaluronan-mediated enhancement of adenoviral vector transgene expression. Introduction of hyaluronan receptor CD44 into CD44-negative cells followed by transduction in the presence of vitreous with an adenoviral vector containing an IL-12-coding transgene increases IL-12...
