Zusammenfassung: | This disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating disorders or injuries that affect motor function and control in a subject. In one aspect, the invention a transgene product is delivered to a subject's spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the brain. The viral vector delivers the transgene to a region of the brain which is susceptible to infection by the virus and which expresses the encoded recombinant viral gene product. Also provided are compositions for delivery of a transgene product to a subject's spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the subject's brain.
La presente invención proporciona métodos y composiciones para tratar enfermedades o lesiones que afectan la función y control motores en un sujeto. En un aspecto, en la invención se administra un producto de transgenes a la médula espinal de un sujeto mediante la administración al cerebro de un vector viral neurotrófico recombinante que contiene el transgen. El vector viral distribuye el transgen en una región del cerebro que es susceptible de infección por el virus y que expresa el producto del gen viral recombinante codificado. Igualmente se proporcionan composiciones para la distribución de un producto de transgenes a la médula espinal de un sujeto mediante la administración al cerebro del sujeto de un vector viral neurotrófico recombinante que contiene el transgen. |
