  • Tranformation of cells associated with fluid spaces
    Patent number: 5792751
    Abstract: This invention relates to the transfer and expression of genes in cells associated with fluid spaces, such as follicles of the thyroid, the synovium of the joint, the vitreous of the eye and the inner or middle ear. Formulated DNA expression vectors comprising a gene are introduced with or without formulation elements directly into a fluid space under conditions in which the cells associated with the fluid space can incorporate the formulated DNA expression vector and express the transformed gene.

  • Somatic gene therapy to cells associated with fluid spaces
    Patent number: 5770580
    Abstract: This invention relates to somatic gene therapy to cells associated with fluid spaces, such as follicles of the thyroid, the synovium of the joint, the vitreous of the eye and the inner or middle ear. Formulated DNA expression vectors are introduced with or without formulation elements into fluid spaces under conditions in which cells associated with the fluid space can incorporate the formulated DNA expression vector. Formulated DNA expression-mediated gene therapy allows treatment of diseases involving cells associated with fluid spaces.
