Genetically modified olfactory-derived cells regenerate corticospinal axons
Published in Lab Business Week, May 29th, 2005
According to recent research published in the journal Brain, "adenoviral (AdV) vectors encoding neurotrophin-3 (AdV-NT-3) or the bacterial marker enzyme beta-galactosidase (LacZ gene) were used to transduce olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) cultures. AdV vector-transduced OEG expressed high levels of recombinant neurotrophin as shown by in situ hybridization and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques. The biological activity of vector-derived NT-3 was determined in a dorsal root ganglia neurite outgrowth assay."
"Engineered cell suspensions were then injected...
