Sustained delivery of erythropoietin in mice by genetically modified skin fibroblasts.
We have examined whether the secretion of erythropoietin (Epo) from genetically modified cells could represent an alternative to repeated injections of the recombinant hormone for treating chronic anemias responsive to Epo. Primary mouse skin fibroblasts were transduced with a retroviral vector in which the murine Epo cDNA is expressed under the control of the murine phosphoglycerate kinase pro...
متن کاملProduction of Human Factor IX in Animals by Genetically Modified Skin Fibroblasts : Potential Therapy for Hemophilia
Inherited diseases might be treated by introducing normal genes into a patient’s somatic tissues to correct the genetic defects. In the case of hemophilia resulting from a missing clotting factor. the required gene could be introduced into any cell as long as active factor reached the circulation. We previously showed that retroviral vectors can efficiently transfer genes into normal skin fibro...
متن کاملExpression of Human Adenosine Deaminase in Mice After Transplantation of Genetically-Modified Bone Marrow
A high titer retroviral vector was used to transfer a human adenosine deaminase (h-ADA) cDNA into murine bone marrow cells in vitro. The h-ADA cDNA was linked to the retroviral promoter, and the vector also contained a neomycin phosphotransferase gene as a selectable marker. Infected marrow was transplanted into syngeneic W/W’ recipients, and h-ADA expression was monitored for 5.5 months. Sever...

متن کاملGenetically modified skin to treat disease: potential and limitations.
Molecular definition of disease at the level of the gene and advances in recombinant DNA technology suggest that many diseases are amenable to correction by genes not bearing the defective elements that result in disease. Many questions must be answered before this therapy can be used to correct chronic diseases. These questions fall into safety and efficacy categories. Experience with transpla...
