Expression of Human Factor IX by Microencapsulated Recombinant Fibroblasts
1 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of clotting factor IX (FIX) causes hemophilia B in humans. We propose a novel approach to its treatment by engineering FIX-secreting cell lines suitable for implantation in different allogeneic hosts. To prevent graft rejection following implantation, the recombinant cells can be protected with biocompatible membranes that permit exit of FIX but not entry of cellular immune mediators. To explore the...
