March 3rd, 2009
"The fibrin glue system (FGS) consists of liquid forms of fibrinogen and thrombin and is used widely in surgery for hemostasis. In this study, as a novel and unique approach, the possibility and efficacy of locoregional gene transfer using the FGS containing an adenoviral vector was determined," investigators in Tokyo, Japan report. "The optimum concentration of the adenoviral vector mixed with the FGS (AxCALacZ/FGS) for gene transduction was evaluated in vitro by X-gal (beta-galactosidase) staining and NIH (National Institute of Health) imaging in RCN-9, a rat colon carcinoma cell line. To determine the survival period of the adenoviral vector in the fibrin glue, RCN-9...
