Gene expression was assayed 3 days following the injection. 12 To Gene Therapy examine whether lipid complexation can similarly enhance pulmonary gene transfer by Ad vectors via the vascular route, AdCMVLuc was mixed with various amounts of DOTAP:cholesterol liposomes and gene expression was assayed 3 days following the injection of the complexed AdCMVLuc. In contrast to sequential injection, premixing of cationic liposomes with AdCM-VLuc resulted in a decreased gene expression in all major organs examined ( Figure 2 ). ./cache/cord-005432-mqyvpepo.txt ./txt/cord-005432-mqyvpepo.txt
