C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Is Essential for Efficient Systemic Transduction of Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus Vector 1 (rAAV-1) and rAAV-6 in Mice
1 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
The clinical relevance of gene therapy using the recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors often requires widespread distribution of the vector, and in this case, systemic delivery is the optimal route of administration. Humoral blood factors, such as antibodies or complement, are the first barriers met by the vectors administered systemically. We have found that other blood proteins, galectin 3 binding...
