[Alternative vector systems] include both viral and nonviral approaches to accomplish gene transfer. In both of these approaches, the goal is to develop a system that can deliver genes in vivo after systemic administration. This development is a step toward deriving a "targetable-injectable" vector - a vector that can deliver therapeutic genes selectively to target cells after direct, in vivo administration. 1, record 3, English, - vector
