We used recombinant adenoviruses as a means of expressing exogenous genes in olfactory neurons in vivo. A replication incompetent adenovirus (type 5, Ad5) carrying the reporter gene lacZ, which codes for the enzyme 8-galactosidase (,&Gal), was applied in solution to the olfactory epithelia of rats.
Transfer of therapeutic genes into muscle tissue has promise for the treatment of a variety of muscular dystrophies. Various vectors have been used to deliver genes to skeletal muscle but their application has faced several major limitations including: (1) the lack of transgene persistence caused by
## BACKGROUND. E2F-1 is a transcription factor that stimulates cellular proliferation and cell cycle progression from G 1 to S-phase. Somewhat paradoxically, E2F-1 also has the properties of a tumor suppressor. Overexpression of E2F-1 has been shown to induce apoptosis in some cancer cells. In the
