    The murine lung as a factory to produce secreted intrapulmonary and circulatory proteins

    We have shown that a lentiviral vector (rSIV.F/HN) pseudotyped with the F and HN proteins from Sendai virus generates high levels of intracellular proteins after lung transduction. Here, we evaluate the use of...

    CpG-free plasmids confer reduced inflammation and sustained pulmonary gene expression

    Pulmonary delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA)/cationic liposome complexes is associated with an acute unmethylated CG dinucleotide (CpG)-mediated inflammatory response and brief duration of transgene expression. We...

    Assessment of CFTR Function after Gene Transfer In Vitro and In Vivo

    Cystic fibrosis (CF) a monogenic lethal disease and, therefore, ideally suited for the development of gene therapy. The first clinical trials were carried out shortly after cloning the CF gene in 1989. Since t...

    Inefficient cationic lipid-mediated siRNA and antisense oligonucleotide transfer to airway epithelial cells in vivo

    The cationic lipid Genzyme lipid (GL) 67 is the current "gold-standard" for in vivo lung gene transfer. Here, we assessed, if GL67 mediated uptake of siRNAs and asODNs into airway epithelium in vivo.

    Beta-defensin genomic copy number is not a modifier locus for cystic fibrosis

    Human beta-defensin 2 (DEFB4, also known as DEFB2 or hBD-2) is a salt-sensitive antimicrobial protein that is expressed in lung epithelia. Previous work has shown that it is encoded in a cluster of beta-defens...

    Efficient gene transfer to airway epithelium using recombinant Sendai virus

    Clinical studies of gene therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) suggest that the key problem is the efficiency of gene transfer to the airway epithelium. The availability of relevant vector receptors, the transient ...

    Cystic Fibrosis

    Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal autosomal recessive single gene disorder in Caucasians, with an incidence of 1 in 1500 to 1 in 6500 in various populations [1]. The phenotype is complex with invo...
