Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Endothelial cells (EC) are an attractive target for somatic cell gene therapy, both for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and for the systemic delivery of recombinant gene products directly into the circulation. Recent evidence, however, suggests that viral transduction may induce unfavorable changes in EC phenotype. We examined the proliferative capacity and cell adhesion molecule (CAM) profile...
