Targeted, non-viral gene delivery for cancer gene therapy.
The ability to mediate targeted and specific delivery of therapeutics to cancer cells remains one of the most important hurdles in effectively treating cancer. This aspect also remains as one of the greatest limitations of gene therapy as well. Targeted vectors based on the use of DNA-binding agents attached to cell specific ligands or "molecular conjugates" were created with the goal of over-c...
متن کاملNovel Gene Therapy Viral Vector Using Non-Oncogenic Lymphotropic Herpesvirus
Despite the use of retroviral vectors, efficiently introducing target genes into immunocytes such as T cells is difficult. In addition, retroviral vectors carry risks associated with the oncogenicity of the native virus and the potential for introducing malignancy in recipients due to genetic carryover from immortalized cells used during vector production. To address these issues, we have estab...
متن کاملViral vector-targeted antiangiogenic gene therapy utilizing an angiostatin complementary DNA.
Despite recent advances in neurosurgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the prognosis of patients with malignant gliomas remains dismal. Based on the observation that solid tumor growth is angiogenic dependent, and gliomas are among the most angiogenic of all tumors, therapeutic strategies aimed at inhibiting angiogenesis are theoretically attractive. Angiostatin, an internal peptide fragment of ...
متن کاملDevelopment of non-viral vehicles for targeted gene transfer into microglia via the integrin receptor CD11b
Microglial activation is a central event in neurodegeneration. Novel technologies are sought for that specifically manipulate microglial function in order to delineate their role in onset and progression of neuropathologies. We investigated for the first time whether non-viral gene delivery based on polyethyleneglycol-polyethyleneimine conjugated to the monoclonal anti-CD11b antibody OX42 ("OX4...
