Liver-directed gene therapy of diabetic rats using an HVJ-E vector containing EBV plasmids expressing insulin and GLUT 2 transporter.

abstract：:Adenovirus (Ad) vectors are of utility for many therapeutic applications. Strategies have been developed to alter adenoviral tropism to achieve a cell-specific gene delivery capacity employing fiber modifications allowing genetic incorporation of targeting motifs. In this regard, single chain antibodies (scFv) represe...
