Perinatal systemic gene delivery using adeno-associated viral vectors
Neurodegenerative monogenic diseases often affect tissues and organs beyond the nervous system. An effective treatment would require a systemic approach. The intravenous administration of novel therapies is ideal but is hampered by the inability of such drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and precludes efficacy in the central nervous system. A number of these early lethal intractable d...
متن کاملP164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...
متن کاملGene delivery in renal tubular epithelial cells using recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors.
Gene therapy has the potential to provide a therapeutic strategy for numerous renal diseases such as diabetic nephropathy, chronic rejection, Alport syndrome, polycystic kidney disease, and inherited tubular disorders. In previous studies using cationic liposomes or adenoviral or retroviral vectors to deliver genes into the kidney, transgene expression has been transient and often associated wi...
متن کاملGene delivery to neurons of the dorsal root ganglia using adeno- associated viral vectors
Viral vector-mediated gene transfer, especially using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors, is a powerful strategy to manipulate gene expression in vivo in injured neurons. In this chapter we provide two methods to efficiently transduce dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in vivo using AAV. We describe detailed procedures to perform direct injections into specific DRG and delivery via the intrat...
متن کامل6 Adeno - Associated Viral Vectors
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a non-pathogenic humanDNAviruswith a unique profile of biological properties that have been of interest to molecular virologists for many years (Berns, 1990; Carter, 1990; Carter et al., 1990). Recently,AAV has also attracted interest as a vector for gene transfer (Carter, 1992; Flotte, 1993a; Hermonat andMuzyczka, 1984; Tratschin et al., 1984). In a general sens...
