Shrnutí:Recombinant therapeutic proteins, of which monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) represent the largest market, are used to treat diseases including cancer, blood and immune disorders. The cost and complexity of large-scale production and purification of mAbs translates to high cost of therapy. We hypothesise that our rSIV.F/HN lentiviral lung gene delivery platform, currently undergoing preclinical evaluation for cystic fibrosis gene therapy, could be used to establish protein factories within patients' lungs.
