Increased persistence of lung gene expression using plasmids containing the ubiquitin C or elongation factor 1alpha promoter.

For effective gene therapy of chronic disease, persistent transgene expression at therapeutic levels is required. Clinical studies of airway gene transfer in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have resulted in short-lived transgene expression. We used intra-nasal dosing of naked plasmid DNA to the m...
