摘要:
Provided are methods for selectively expressing therapeutic molecules, such as secretory proteins, antisense molecules and ribozymes, in the liver. The methods find use in treating hepatic diseases or conditions. The methods also find use in treating any disease or condition in which systemic administration of the therapeutic substance, for example, a secretory protein, is desired. The methods involve administering to a mammalian patient having a need for liver expression of a therapeutic molecule an AAV vector containing a therapeutically effective amount of the therapeutic molecule. Also provided are novel vectors employable in these methods.
