Viral Vectors for Gene Therapy

Robbins, Paul D., Ghivizzani, Steven C.·1998·Pharmacology & Therapeutics

Abstract

Viruses have evolved to become highly efficient at nucleic acid delivery to specific cell types while avoiding immunosurveillance by an infected host. These properties make viruses attractive gene-delivery vehicles, or vectors, for gene therapy. Several types of viruses, including retrovirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV), and herpes simplex virus, have been modified in the laboratory for use in gene therapy applications. Because these vector systems have unique advantages and limitations, each has applications for which it is best suited. Retroviral vectors can permanently integrate into the genome of the infected cell, but require mitotic cell division for transduction. Adenoviral vectors can efficiently deliver genes to a wide variety of dividing and nondividing cell types, but immune elimination of infected cells often limits gene expression in vivo. Herpes simplex virus can deliver large amounts of exogenous DNA; however, cytotoxicity and maintenance of transgene expression remain as obstacles. AAV also infects many nondividing and dividing cell types, but has a limited DNA capacity. Alternatively, chimeric viral-vector systems that combine advantageous properties of two or more viral systems are also being explored. Although viral-mediated gene delivery has proved to be the most efficient means of gene transfer, nonviral means are also under development. Many of these nonviral systems incorporate portions of viral vectors to increase the efficiency of gene delivery or expression. Retrovirus, adenovirus, and AAV vectors are being evaluated currently in several Phase 1 clinical trials for treatment of diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, Gaucher disease, and arthritis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
