Microvascular free tissue transfer for gene delivery: in vivo evaluation of different routes of plasmid and adenoviral delivery

Transfer of healthy autologous tissue as a microvascular free flap facilitates reconstruction during ablative cancer surgery. In addition to filling surgical defects, free flaps might concentrate viral vectors at the tumour bed and mediate local therapeutic effects. We evaluated the magnitude, topog...

Zusammenfassung:Transfer of healthy autologous tissue as a microvascular free flap facilitates reconstruction during ablative cancer surgery. In addition to filling surgical defects, free flaps might concentrate viral vectors at the tumour bed and mediate local therapeutic effects. We evaluated the magnitude, topography and duration of luciferase gene expression after plasmid and adenoviral delivery in rat superficial inferior epigastric (SIE) flaps. For plasmid delivery, luciferase expression was significantly increased by all transduction routes (topical, intraflap injection, intravascular) ( P
