High expression of transgenes mediated by hybrid retroviral vectors in hepatocytes: comparison of promoters from murine retroviruses in vitro and in vivo.

abstract：:Microwave (MW) energy consists of electric and magnetic fields and is able to penetrate deep into biological materials. We investigated the effect of MW (2450 MHz) irradiation on gene delivery in cultured mouse myoblasts and observed enhanced transgene expression. This effect is, however, highly variable and criticall...
