Kinetics and characteristics of replication-competent revertants derived from self-inactivating foamy virus vectors.

abstract：:Gene therapy is an attractive method for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, using current strategies, induction of gene expression at therapeutic levels is often inefficient. In this study, we show a novel electroporation (EP) method to enhance the delivery of a plasmid expressing an angiogenic growth f...
