Manufacturing of AcMNPV baculovirus vectors to enable gene therapy trials
Over the past two decades, baculoviruses have become workhorse research tools for transient transgene expression. Although they have not yet been used directly as a gene therapy vector in the clinical setting, numerous preclinical studies have suggested the highly promising potential of baculovirus as a delivery vector for a variety of therapeutic applications including vaccination, tissue engi...
متن کاملBeta thalassemia gene therapy using lentiviral vectors
Recent years, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has proved to be the successful cure for patients with thalassemia major, however this is restricted due to limited matched-related donor. Its complications include chronic graft-versus-host disease in 5-8% of patients. So, a molecular approach, such as gene therapy for direct normal beta globin gene transmission, seems quite promising ...
متن کاملHelper-dependent adenoviral vectors in experimental gene therapy.
In the majority of potential applications gene therapy will require an effective transfer of a transgene in vivo resulting in high-level and long-term transgene expression, all in the absence of significant toxicity or inflammatory responses. The most efficient vehicles for delivery of foreign genes to the target tissues are modified adenoviruses. Adenoviral vectors of the first generation, des...
متن کاملBarriers and recent advances in non-viral vectors targeting the lungs for cystic fibrosis gene therapy
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CFTR genes that affect chloride ion channel. The CF is a good nominee for gene therapy as the asymptomatic carriers are phenotypically normal, and the desired cells are accessible for vector delivery. Gene therapy shows promising effects involving the correction of gene or replacement of the mutant gene with the func...
متن کاملEfficient gene transfer into human hepatocytes by baculovirus vectors.
Viral vectors are the most efficient tools for gene delivery, and the search for tissue-specific infecting viruses is important for the development of in vivo gene therapy strategies. The baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus is widely used as a vector for expression of foreign genes in insect cells, and its host specificity is supposed to be restricted to arthropods. He...
