  • Hybrid vectors for gene therapy
    Patent number: 6806080
    Abstract: The invention discloses hybrid vectors for delivering genes or other nucleic acids into mammalian cells. The hybrid vectors of the invention contain both a helper dependent adenoviral portion and a second portion derived from a transposon. Such vectors provide efficient transduction of quiescent cells and provide for stable integration of the gene to be delivered.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 19, 2002
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2004
    Assignees: University of Southern California, The Regent of the University of California
    Inventors: Noriyuki Kasahara, Collin Higo, Harris Soifer, Kohnosuke Mitani
  • Hybrid vectors for gene therapy
    Patent number: 6576463
    Abstract: The invention discloses hybrid vectors for delivering genes or other nucleic acids into mammalian cells. The hybrid vectors of the invention contain both a helper dependent adenoviral portion and a second portion derived from either a replication incompetent retrovirus or from a transposon. Such vectors provide efficient transduction of quiescent cells and provide for stable integration of the gene to be delivered.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 18, 2000
    Date of Patent: June 10, 2003
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Noriyuki Kasahara, Collin Higo, Harris Soifer, Kohnosuke Mitani
