Improvements in gene therapy: averting the immune response to adenoviral vectors

BioDrugs : Clinical Immunotherapeutics, Biopharmaceuticals and Gene Therapy

Abstract

Gene therapy is an interesting approach for the correction of defective genes, the treatment of cancer and the introduction of immunomodulatory genes. Various techniques for gene transfer into cells or tissues have been developed within the last decade; these can be divided generally into viral and nonviral gene transfer systems. Nonviral techniques include the liposome- or gene gun-mediated introduction of therapeutic genes; however, the efficiency of gene transfer by these applications is still very low. In contrast, viruses have optimised their strategies for efficient infection of virtually any cell type in a mammalian organism. The genetic modification of genomes from different virus families (Adenoviridae, Retroviridae, Herpesviridae) led to the development of gene therapy vectors with a similar capacity to infect cells or tissues as that of wild type viruses. In contrast to wild type viruses, gene therapy vectors are engineered to transfer therapeutic genes into the target cells or tissues. In addition, they have lost their capacity for replication in target cells, because of the removal of essential genes, which allows replication only in specialised packaging cell lines engineered for the production of recombinant viru...Continue Reading

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
