## Abstract In this study, we successfully transferred the __Escherichia coli__ Ξ²βgalactosidase gene, LacZ, into the chicken tendon and tendon sheath by a recombinant adenovirus. The recombinant adenovirus AdvβΞ²gal that carried the __E. coli__ LacZ gene was constructed by homologous recombination i

## Abstract ## Background As development of cardiac gene therapies progresses, virally mediated genetic manipulations in cultured cardiomyocytes has become an important experimental approach. While adenovirus (Ad)βmediated gene transfer to neonatal and adult rat cardiomyocytes is well established,
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
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.
