Title:
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR ENHANCING IN VIVO GENE DELIVERY/EXPRESSION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000050584
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A novel nucleotide expression delivery system is disclosed which provides for increased expression levels of such polynucleotides as well as continued persistence of the expression system in vivo. According to the invention, the expression system is contained within, impregnated in or associated with a biocompatible collagen based carrier composition. Methods and compositions for practicing the same are disclosed. The invention further includes the immunogenic properties of such compositions and use of the same for antigenic or vaccine protocols.
