Abstract

See full text

The present invention comprises gene therapy for treating cystic fibrosis(CF). Delivery and expression of a single copy of a normal CFTR gene leads to stable correction of the Cl channel regulation defect present in CF epithelial cells. The present invention includes recombinant viral and plasmid vectors, alternative CFTR gene delivery strategies, and transduced CF cells and cell lines carrying a recombinant gene for functional CFTR. CF epithelial complementation through transduction of the present invention also provides an assay for determining the validity of other putative CF mutations.
