Gene therapy for diabetes mellitus in rats by intramuscular injection of lentivirus containing insulin gene

We assessed therapeutic potential of intramuscular insulin gene delivery in a diabetic murine model. The human proinsulin gene cDNA engineered with concensus furin cleavage sequences was inserted into an advanced lentiviral vector that contained CMV early promoter. After injection of concentrated le...
