Influence of Cell Polarity on Retrovirus-Mediated Gene Transfer to Differentiated Human Airway Epithelia
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Gene transfer with recombinant murine leukemia viruses (MuLV) provides the potential to permanently correct inherited lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF). Several problems prevent the application of MuLV-based recombinant retroviruses to lung gene therapy: (i) the lack of cell proliferation in mature pulmonary epithelia, (ii) inefficient gene transfer with a vector applied to the apical surface, and (iii)...
