Overexpression of PAI-1 prevents the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm in mice
Vessel wall inflammation and matrix destruction are critical to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation and rupture. We have previously shown that urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is highly expressed in...

Effect of viral dose on neutralizing antibody response and transgene expression after AAV1 vector re-administration in mice
Neutralizing antibodies (nAB) at the time of administration hamper the effectiveness of adeno-associated virus (AAV) as a clinical DNA delivery system. The present study was designed to investigate if AAV re-a...

Regulated expression of the interferon-β gene in mice
A single plasmid regulated expression vector based upon a mifepristone-inducible two plasmid system, termed pBRES, has been constructed and tested in mice using murine interferon-b (mIFNb) as the transgene. Th...
