Cystic Fibrosis Autosomal recessive genetic

disorder CFTR gene

Gene Therapy

What is gene therapy? Objective

Page 4: Gene Therapy For Cystic Fibrosis

Degree of correction required

Minimal percentage of cells with a non-CF phenotype required to normalize the functions of the CF bronchial epithelial layer.

Barriers for gene delivery Defense mechanisms Delivery systems

Vectors Vectors

Target: Airway EpitheliumObjective: Generation of a functional protein

Vectors Viral vectors

AdenoviralAdeno-associatedLentivirusPoxvirus, Sendai, Herpes virus

Conclusions

New design of clinical trials New vectors Gene therapy for CF is still a great

hope more than a reality
