Abstract excerpt
Genetic defects of lysosomal hydrolases result in severe storage diseases and treatments based on enzyme replacement have been proposed. In mice lacking beta-glucuronidase, which develop a disease homologous to human mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (Sly syndrome), we have used autologous implants of genetically-modified skin fibroblasts for the continuous in vivo production of the enzyme. The human...
