Transient Expression of Genes Transferred In Vivo into Heart Using First-Generation Adenoviral Vectors: Role of the Immune Response
1 Oct 1995
Abstract excerpt
Gene therapy for heart diseases requires availability of an efficient vector for gene transfer into myocardium. Recombinant adenovirus expressing the Escherichia coli β-galactosidase (β-Gal) gene was shown to infect rat cardiocytes efficiently in vivo. However, a time course of gene expression showed that transgene expression was maximal during the first week following injection, then declined and disappeared by...
