Adenovirus-mediated transfer of a recombinant alpha 1-antitrypsin gene to the lung epithelium in vivo

TL;DR: The respiratory epithelium is a potential site for somatic gene therapy for the common hereditary disorders alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) deficiency and cystic fibrosis by infecting epithelial cells of the cotton rat respiratory tract in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Administration of an adenovirus containing the human CFTR cDNA to the respiratory tract of individuals with cystic fibrosis.

TL;DR: It is feasible to use an adenovirus vector to transfer and express the CFTR cDNA in the respiratory epithelium of individuals with CF and Correction of the CF phenotype of the airway epithelia might be achieved with this strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Murine model of Niemann-Pick C disease: mutation in a cholesterol homeostasis gene.

TL;DR: The mouse model may provide an important resource for studying the role of NPC1 in cholesterol homeostasis and neurodegeneration and for assessing the efficacy of new drugs for NP-C disease.
