Genetically modified Sertoli cells survive allogeneic transplantation
Published in Blood Weekly, June 10th, 2004
"The immunoprotective nature of the testis has led to numerous investigations for its ability to protect cellular grafts. Sertoli cells (SCs) are at least partially responsible for this immunoprotective environment and survive allogeneic and xenogeneic transplantation. The ability of SCs to survive transplantation leads to the possibility that they could be engineered to deliver therapeutic proteins," scientists writing in the journal Gene Therapy report.
"As a model to test this hypothesis, we examined the ability of SCs that produce green fluorescent protein (GFP) to...
