Pseudotyped Viruses And Methods For Their Use

US Patent:
2005011, May 26, 2005
Filed:
Mar 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/811353
Inventors:
Paul McCray - Iowa City IA, US
David Sanders - West Lafayette IN, US
Scott Jeffers - Aurora CO, US
Beverly Davidson - North Liberty IA, US
Patrick Sinn - Iowa City IA, US
Assignee:
Purdue Research Foundation - West Lafayette IN
University of Iowa Research Foundation - Iowa City IA
International Classification:
A61K048/00, A61K038/16
US Classification:
424093200, 514044000, 514008000
Abstract:
The invention provides a method to introduce a selected nucleic acid sequence into an airway epithelial cell that involves contacting the airway epithelial cell with a pseudotyped retrovirus that includes a glycoprotein in which a portion of an O-glycosylation region within the glycoprotein has been deleted and a retroviral capsid that includes the selected nucleic acid sequence. The invention also provides a method to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of cystic fibrosis in a mammal that involves contacting an airway epithelial cell of the mammal with a pseudotyped retrovirus that includes a glycoprotein in which a portion of an O-glycosylation region within the glycoprotein has been deleted and a retroviral capsid that includes a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein.
