Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method of promoting the closure of a wound in a patient. This method involves transferring exogenous iNOS to the region of the wound whereby a product of iNOS is produced in the region of the wound to promote the closure of the wound. The present invention also provides a method of transplanting a graft into a patient, which method involves transferring a vector comprising an iNOS expression cassette to cells associated with the graft and surgically incorporating the graft tissue into the patient. Upon expression of iNOS within the patient, a product of iNOS is produced in the region of the graft to attenuate vasculopathy in the region of the graft.
