Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002083080
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Novel methods for treating and preventing arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are disclosed which employ lentiviral gene delivery vectors, including HIV-based lentiviral vectors, to deliver a therapeutic gene to a subject. Lentiviral-based vectors treat arthritis by promoting high-level expression of the transferred therapeutic gene in the target tissue of the subject.
