2003 DEC 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Jet injection is amenable to administering adeno-associated virus vector.

According to a study from Czech Republic, "the jet-injection technology was used for delivery of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV). Although AAV-based vectors are an attractive tool in gene therapy, some methodological and technical problems of their targeted delivery remain to be solved. We tried to address some of these cell-targeting problems by using a new low-volume needleless injection device, the Swiss Injector."

"First, we tested by electron microscopy whether jet-injection would have any detrimental effect on rAAV particle integrity. Second, we compared transgene expression after infection of 293T cells with fired or control (non-fired) rAAV that expressed the green fluorescent protein (GFP), beta-galactosidase (beta-gal), the B7.1 molecule, and interleukin 2 (IL2). Third, an rAAV carrying the genes coding for beta-gal was jet-injected into mouse subcutaneous (s.c.) tumors," described O. Janouskova and colleagues, Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Prague.

"The staining of tumor cryosections revealed beta-gal ...
