A Novel AAV-mediated Gene Delivery System Corrects CFTR Function in Pigs
11 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal-recessive disease that is caused by a mutant CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene and is characterized by chronic bacterial lung infections and inflammation. Complementation with functional CFTR normalizes anion transport across the airway surface. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a useful vector for gene therapy because of its low immunogenicity...
