Abstract

The critical aspect in gene and gene-cell therapy is to
find an optimal vector - a carrier of genetic information.
Viruses represent a natural biological system for gene
transfer into eukaryotic cells. One of the most effective
and proven vectors for delivery of recombinant nucleic acids
into mammalian cells are adenoviruses and lentiviruses. In
this study using the Gateway cloning we have constructed
adenoviral and lentiviral vectors encoding angiogenic and
neuroprotective factors: various isoforms of vascular
endothelial growth factor vegf121, vegf165, vegf189; basic
fibroblast growth factor fgf2; glial cell-derived neurotrophic
factor gdnf. The efficiency of transduction of HEK293A cell
line with generated recombinant viruses and expression of
recombinant proteins were confirmed by immunofluorescent
analysis.
