Abstract excerpt
Studies on gene therapy for hemophilia B (HB) using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors showed that the safety of a given strategy is directly related to the vector dose. To overcome this limitation, we sought to test the efficacy and the risk of immunogenicity of a novel factor IX (FIX) R338L associated with ∼ 8-fold increased specific activity. Muscle-directed expression of canine FIX-R338L by AAV vectors was...
