  • Methods and compositions for expressing polynucleotides specifically in smooth muscle cells in vivo
    Publication number: 20030017549
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to promoters, enhancers and other regulatory elements of smooth muscle cells (“SMC”). The invention more particularly relates to methods for the targeted knockout, or over-expression, of genes of interest within smooth muscle cells or within a subtype of smooth muscle cells. The invention further relates to methods of conferring polynucleotide expression in vivo specifically in smooth muscle cells or in subtypes of smooth muscle cells.
