Plusieurs éléments peuvent expliquer ces résultats décevants, notamment la perte au moins partielle de l'avantage sélectif escompte des cellules transduites du fait du traitement concomitant par PEG-ADA et les capacités limitées des vecteurs rétroviraux d'origine murine utilisés pour transduire les cellules humaines. 1, record 2, French, - transduire

Adeno-associated virus(AAV) is unique in the viral world because it has never been shown to have any pathogenic effects in humans, and most of the population has been exposed to AAV early in life. This recommends it as a vehicle for gene therapy. And, during the past five years or so, interest has widened in the development of AAV vectors for gene delivery. 3, record 3, English, - adeno%2Dassociated%20virus

The study of viral vectors, or "vectorology, "has disclosed some new candidate viruses to carry the desired gene into the target cell nucleus, like so many Trojan horses. The old standbys are adenovirus and retro-virus. New candidates include lentivirus(HIV) and, widely admired, adeno-associated virus. All of these viruses can be modified extensively in various ways. 1, record 4, English, - vectorology

Après la réalisation des premières cartes du génome humain, Généthon poursuit sa mission originale voulue par l'AFM : lever les obstacles à l'avènement des thérapeutiques : (1) création d'un laboratoire de vectorologie, chargé de concevoir, développer puis de produire à la demande des vecteurs de qualité pré-clinique, puis de qualité clinique, animation d'un Réseau national et européen de vectorologie : destiné à fédérer les laboratoires ayant l'expertise et la capacité technique de construction des vecteurs, afin de les rendre accessibles à l'ensemble de la communauté scientifique. A terme, l'un des objectifs est la mise en place d'une vectorothèque, une base de données européenne recensant toutes les données sur les différents vecteurs existants et les résultats des essais de transfert de gènes. 3, record 4, French, - vectorologie

Various approaches have been attempted, the most promising one is the use of viral vectors. The most commonly used gene vectors are the replication defective herpes simplex virus, the replication defective adenovirus, adeno-associated virus and retrovirus. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. 1, record 5, English, - defective%20adenovirus
