摘要:
A method for the direct treatment towards the specific sites of a disease is disclosed. This method is based on the delivery of proteins by catheterization to discrete blood vessel segments using genetically modified or normal cells or other vector systems. Endothelial cells expressing recombinant therapeutic agent or diagnostic proteins are situated on the walls of the blood vessel or in the tissue perfused by the vessel in a patient. This technique, provides for the transfer of cells or vectors and expression of recombinant genes in vivo and allows the introduction of proteins of therapeutic or diagnostic value for the treatment of diseases.

摘要:
Modified HIV Env, Gag, Pol, or Nef DNA with improved ability to elicit antibody and CTL responses to HIV antigens have been identified as prototype immunogens for the treatment and prevention of HIV infections. Modifications to Env glycoprotein include deletions in the cleavage site, fusogenic domain, and spacing of heptad repeats 1 and 2 and different COOH-terminal deletions. Other modifications entail expression of Gag-Pol and Gag-Pol-Nef as fusion proteins.

Ebola virus vaccines comprising nucleic acid molecules encoding Ebola viral proteins are provided. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule encodes the transmembrane form of the viral glycoprotein (GP). In another embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule encodes the secreted form of the viral glycoprotein (sGP). In yet another embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule encodes the viral nucleoprotein (NP). Methods for immunizing a subject against disease caused by infection with Ebola virus are also provided.

摘要:
The present method provides a method for inhibiting restenosis associated with mechanical injury of a blood vessel. Human heme oxygenase I (HO1) is directly administered at the site of injury. The present inventors have discovered that carbon monoxide generated by HO1 is involved in the molecular pathogenesis of vascular proliferative disorders. By using adenoviral-mediated expression of inducible heme oxygenase 1 in primary vascular smooth muscle cells (vsmc) in vivo, the present inventors demonstrate that in vivo expression of HO1 can be used to treat restenosis.
