PUMA PROTEIN EXPRESSION VECTOR AND USE THEREOF IN GENE THERAPY

摘要

The present invention relates to a viral vector for expression of the cell death-inducing PUMA protein, for use in gene therapy, for example for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. This vector consists in particular of a recombinant adenovirus expressing the gene encoding the PUMA protein and of a recombinant baculovirus containing a coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR).
