Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6071889
| Title: | In vivo genetic modification of growth factor-responsive neural precursor cells | | Inventors: | Weiss, Samuel; Alberta, Canada
Reynolds, Brent; Alberta, Canada
Hammang, Joseph P.; Barrington, RI
Baetge, E. Edward; Barrington, RI | | Summary: | This invention describes methods for administering genetic material to dividing neural precursor cell populations in vivo. The genetic material may comprise useful genes for neurotransmitters, growth factors, and growth factor receptors, and the genetic material is administered to the brain with one or more growth factors. The growth factors induce proliferation of neural precursor cells, thereby facilitating the incorporation of the genetic material into the cell progeny. | | Abstract: | Methods for administering genetic material to dividing neural precursor cell populations in vivo are provided. The genetic material may comprise useful genes for neurotransmitters, growth factors, growth factor receptors, and the like. The genetic material is administered to the brain with one or more growth factors. The growth factors induce proliferation of neural precursor cells, thereby facilitating the incorporation of the genetic material into the cell progeny. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6071889 | | Application Number: | US1995000479795 | | Date Filed: | 07/06/1995 | | Date Published: | 06/06/2000 | | Assignee: | NeuroSpheres Holdings Ltd., Calgary, Canada |
