MUC1 and Other Sialoglycoconjugates Inhibit Adenovirus-mediated Gene Transfer to Epithelial Cells
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
Recombinant adenoviruses are currently being evaluated as gene transfer vectors for the treatment of airway diseases. Recent evidence indicates that gene transfer to differentiated airway epithelial cells is inefficient. We hypothesized that apical membrane glycoconjugates, such as the transmembrane mucin MUC1, reduce the efficiency of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer. To address this, studies were performed in...
