Adeno-associated viruses outpace other virus types as delivery vehicles
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, October 16th, 2003
According to recent research from the United States, "post-transcriptional gene silencing by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is rapidly becoming a powerful tool for genetic analysis of mammalian cells. Delivery of siRNA into mammalian cells is usually achieved via the transfection of double-stranded oligonucleotides or plasmids encoding RNA polymerase III promoter-driven small hairpin RNA. Recently, retroviral vectors have been used for siRNA delivery, which overcome the problem of poor transfection efficiency seen with the plasmid-based systems."
"However, retroviral vectors...
