Adenovirus Mediated Transfer of Genes To The Gastrointestinal Tract
00/00/00
E-151-1991/0
Licensed
Description of Invention:
A novel method of producing a chosen protein in the gastrointestinal tract of a human has been invented by and is available for licensing from the Public Health Service. The technology allows for the systemic long-term administration of a therapeutic protein to a patient without the need for periodic injections or suppositories. In comparison to alternative delivery systems, such as retroviral vectors, this methodology allows the gene of interest to be directly transferred to targeted cells even if these cells are not actively dividing. The technology is the subject of a pending patent application.
