Characterization of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in rabbit flexor tendons.
PURPOSE Adenoviral vector-based gene therapy is a promising technique for the delivery of growth factors to tendons. The objective of this study was to determine whether rabbit flexor tendons could be transduced effectively by adenoviral vectors and whether the introduction of adenoviral vectors would cause a notable local inflammatory response. METHODS Recombinant adenoviruses expressing gre...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated gene transfer to nonparenchymal cells in normal and injured liver.
Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer has become an important tool with which to introduce genetic material into cells. Available data emphasize efficient adenoviral transduction of parenchymal liver cells (i.e., hepatocytes) in both in vitro and in vivo model systems, typically in normal cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate gene transfer to nonparenchymal (and parenchymal) cells of the nor...
متن کاملDesigning E1 Deleted Adenoviral Vector by Homologous Recombination
Adenoviruses are used extensively to deliver genes into mammalian cells, particularly where there is a requirement for high-level expression of transgene products in cultured cells, or for use as recombinant viral vaccines or in gene therapy. In spite of their usefulness, the construction of adenoviral vectors (AdV) is a cumbersome and lengthy process that is not readily amenable to the generat...
متن کاملImmune responses to repetitive adenovirus-mediated gene transfer and restoration of gene expression by cyclophosphamide or etoposide.
BACKGROUND One major concern about adenoviral vectors for repetitive gene delivery is the induction of an immune response to the vector, thus impeding effective gene transduction. METHODS To assess the immune response to the adenoviral vector, repetitive gene dosing was performed into rhesus monkey cervix and C3H mouse skin using the adenoviral vector carrying the lacZ gene. Three repetitive ...
متن کاملClinical and antiviral efficacy of an ophthalmic formulation of dexamethasone povidone-iodine in a rabbit model of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis.
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of a new formulation of topical dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% (FST-100) in reducing clinical symptoms and infectious viral titers in a rabbit model of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. METHODS Rabbit corneas were inoculated bilaterally with 2×10(6) plaque-forming-units (PFU) of adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) after corneal scarification. Animals were randomi...
