Abstract: The present invention relates, generally, to improved methods of delivering a biologically active agent, in particular a therapeutic or prophylactic nucleic acid, to the ocular sphere of a subject comprising administering said agent to the ciliary body tissue(s) or cells and/or to the extra-ocular muscle tissue or cells. More particularly, the invention relates to devices, their uses, notably in gene therapy, and to methods for treating pathologies of the ocular sphere by specific ciliary body tissue(s) or cells and/or extra-ocular muscle or cells administration of a therapeutic product and transfer thereof into the ocular tissue to be treated. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the product in a form suitable for ciliary body tissue(s) or cells and/or extra-ocular muscle or cells administration, their preparation and uses.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining an antiserum directed against a proteinic toxin by administering to an animal a solution comprising a genetic construct encoding a toxin immunogenic fragment, then applying an electric field in the administering zone, and isolating the serum. The invention also concerns the antiserum obtainable by the method as well as the use of the solution for making a medicine for preventing or treating a toxic effect related to absorption by a mammal of a toxin. The invention is characterized in that said medicine is formulated to be administered by electrotransfer.

Abstract: The invention concerns a combination product comprising an antisense oligonucleotide of the gene encoding MBD2-demethylase and at least an agent used in antitumour chemotherapy, in particular bleomycin, for simultaneous, separate or prolonged use for treating proliferative and inflammatory diseases, in particular for cancer treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel constructs and compositions and to a novel method for regulating the expression of a transgene of interest in vivo by conditional inhibition, and to the uses thereof in experimental, clinical and therapeutic domains or for the production of animals or plants. For example, the novel regulation method is based on the coexpression of a transgene of interest encoding a transcript of interest and of an inhibitory transgene encoding an inhibitory transcript specific for the transcript of interest, so as to obtain constitutive inhibition of the activity of the transcript of interest, and to be able to ensure effective regulation of the transcript of interest, either by inhibiting its inhibitory transcript, or by activating the transcript of interest, or alternatively by activating the transcript of interest and concomitantly inhibiting its inhibitory transcript.
