Abstract

Genetic correction of inherited muscle diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, will require long term expression of the recombinant protein following gene transfer. We have shown previously that a new adenoviral vector that lacks all viral genes expressed both full-length dystrophin and β-galactosidase in mdx (dystrophin-deficient) mouse muscle. We observed a significant histologic improvement of vector-transduced mdx muscle before the eventual loss of vector-encoded transgene expression. In this study, we investigated whether an immunological response against vector-encoded β-galactosidase contributed to the loss of vector expression and affected vector persistence in muscle. Intramuscular vector injection in control normal mice resulted in an early and complete loss of β-galactosidase expression accompanied by predominantly CD4 + and CD8 + lymphocytic infiltration and a significant loss of vector DNA. In contrast, intramuscular vector injection in lacZ transgenic mice resulted in persistent expression of β-galactosidase for at least 84 days with no evidence of inflammation or significant loss of vector DNA. Our studies demonstrate that, in the absence of an immune response induced by β-galactosidase expression, an adenoviral vector lacking all viral genes is stably maintained in muscle.

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.
