However, a major obstacle in the medical application of the HDV ribozyme is the lack of specificity in the delivery of the ribozyme to defined target cells," scientists writing in the Virology Journal report.
"The objective of this study was to determine whether retroviral vectors can deliver the HDV ribozyme into the target cells...
