Generation of Lentiviral Vectors for Use in Skeletal Muscle Research
Published in Methods in Molecular Biology
Gene therapy is a promising approach for the treatment of a variety of disorders including genetic diseases and cancer. Among the viral vectors used in gene therapy, the lentiviral vector, based on HIV-1, is the only integrative vector able to transduce nondividing cells. The first generation of lentiviral vector was established in 1996. Since then...
Electrotransfer of the Full-Length Dog Dystrophin into Mouse and Dystrophic Dog Muscles
Published in Human Gene Therapy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked genetic disease characterized by the absence of dystrophin (427 kDa). An approach to eventually restore this protein in patients with DMD is to introduce into their muscles a plasmid encoding dystrophin cDNA. Because the phenotype of the dystrophic dog is closer to the human phenotype than is the mdx...
