  • Publication number: 20100015091
    Abstract: Methods of enhancing cellular responses to interferons are disclosed. These methods comprise administering to a subject a vector comprising a Stat1-CC transgene, such as an AAV5 vector comprising a reporter operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Stat1-CC polypeptide. The methods can be used in the treatment of diseases that involve interferon responses, such as multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and lupus; viral infections such as infection by hepatitis C virus, influenza A virus, cowpox virus, Sendai virus or Encephalomyocarditis virus; respiratory disorders; and cancers.
