  • Publication number: 20150151007
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating lysosomal storage diseases in a subject. In one aspect of the invention, a transgene product is delivered to a subject by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the brain. The viral vector delivers the transgene to a region of the brain which is susceptible to infection by the virus and which expresses the encoded recombinant viral gene product. Also provided are compositions for delivery of a transgene product to a subject by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the subject's brain. The transgene product may be any that is deficient in a lysosomal storage disease.

  • Publication number: 20070238693
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treatment of systemic disorders using the lung as a depot organ for transgene delivery. Transfection of the pulmonary epithelium, particularly the deep alveolar cells, or pulmonary endothelial cells, is achieved via local administration of a transgene delivery vector to the lung. The transfected cells express the transgene, and the protein thereby expressed is communicated into the circulatory system. Once entering into the circulatory system, the protein is able to achieve a systemic therapeutic effect.
