METHOD OF IMPROVING RENAL FUNCTION

摘要

A method of improving renal function in a mammal suffering from, or at risk of developing, at least partial renal failure or renal dysfunction, includes administering to renal tissue of the mammal, a combination comprising a non-viral vector comprising a non-viral particulate carrier which carries a therapeutically effective amount of genetic material capable of expressing a renal function-enhancing Osteogenic Protein-1/Bone Morphogenic Protein-7 (OP-1/BMP-7) polypeptide in the renal tissue.
