High Levels of Foreign Gene Expression in Hepatocytes after Tail Vein Injections of Naked Plasmid DNA

Zhang, Guofeng, Budker, Vladimir, Wolff, Jon A.·1999·Human Gene Therapy

Abstract

We have previously shown that the intramuscular injection of naked plasmid DNA enables foreign gene expression in muscle. Further studies showed that the intravascular delivery of naked plasmid DNA enables high levels of expression not only in muscle but also in hepatocytes. For the liver, this technique required injection directly into the liver vessels (portal vein, hepatic vein, or bile duct) and occlusion of outflow. The present study now demonstrates that high levels of plasmid DNA expression in hepatocytes can be easily obtained by tail vein injections. The highest levels of expression are achieved by rapidly injecting the plasmid DNA in large volumes, approximately 2.5 ml. This technique has great potential for a wide variety of laboratory studies.

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.
