## Abstract Organ grafts transduced with geneβencoding immunosuppressive molecules are a less toxic approach to preventing graft rejection. Adenovirus vectors have been widely tested with unsatisfactory results, while adenoβassociated virus (AAV) is smaller and elicits a low host humoral response.

## Abstract ## Background To analyse the effects of local (__ex vivo__) or systemic (__in vivo__) administration of adenovirus type 5 encoding CTLA4Ig (AdCTLA4Ig) on its influence to prolong corneal allograft survival and to study the underlying mechanisms. ## Methods A MHC class I/II mismatched
## Abstract ## Background Although gene therapy using plasmid vectors is thought to be safer compared with viral vectors, poor efficacy of gene transfer is the obstacle preventing wide application of plasmid vectors. However, high levels of foreign gene expression have been achieved by rapid tail
