  • For example, the rhesus isolate AAV8 has shown improved gene transfer to liver, muscle, and photoreceptors (1, 4) whereas the human isolate AAV9 is capable of crossing endothelial and blood-brain barriers that enable it to target the heart and central nervous system (5, 6). (upenn.edu)
  • We recently engineered a murine model for this progressive disease and we investigated the possibility of preventing the development of muscular dystrophy in these animals by adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of human alpha-sarcoglycan. (ncl.ac.uk)
  • The combined gene transfer increased splenic NK cell activity and IFN-γ production by splenocytes. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The results suggest that adenovirus-mediated IL-12 gene transfer combined with Ad.CD followed by 5-FC treatment may be useful for treating cancers. (biomedcentral.com)
