Open AccessSecreted αKlotho isoform protects against age-dependent memory deficits
αKlotho is a gene regulator of aging, increasing life expectancy when overexpressed and accelerating the development of aging phenotypes when inhibited. In mice, expression levels of the secreted isoform Klotho (...

AAVrh.10 immunogenicity in mice and humans. Relevance of antibody cross-reactivity in human gene therapy
Simian adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype rh.10 is a promising gene therapy tool, achieving safe, sustained transgene expression in the nervous system, lung, liver and heart in animal models. To date, preex...

Schwann cell targeting via intrasciatic injection of AAV8 as gene therapy strategy for peripheral nerve regeneration
Efficient transduction of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is required for gene therapy of acquired and inherited neuropathies, neuromuscular diseases and for pain treatment. We have characterized the tropi...

Adenovirus complexed with polyethylene glycol and cationic lipid is shielded from neutralizing antibodies in vitro
Development of neutralizing antibodies is an important hindrance that limits repeated administration of adenoviral vectors for gene transfer. One way to avoid this problem would be to coat the virus with a sub...

Extensive analysis of 40 infertile patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens: in 50% of cases only one CFTR allele could be detected
Mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) conductance transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene have been detected in patients with CF and in males with infertility attributable to congenital bilateral absence of the va...

A rare DNA variant in exon 15 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene
We describe a rare single-strand conformation polymorphism that occurs at nucleotide 3030 (G or A) in exon 15 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene.

Distribution of the ΔF508 mutation in 194 Spanish cystic fibrosis families
Spanish cystic fibrosis (CF) families (n = 194) have been analysed for the ΔF508 mutation, and for closely linked DNA markers. The ΔF508 mutation accounts for 50% of CF chromosomes. Four haplotypes are associated...
