GFAP-BASED GENE THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF RETINAL DISEASES

摘要

Compositions and methods for reducing neovascularization. Purified nucleic acid constructs and vectors encoding an anti-angiogenic protein operably linked to a GFAP promoter. Vectors can include at least one hypoxia regulated element, enhancer element and silencer element. Gene therapy methods for reducing, delaying or preventing neovascularization based on the nucleic acid constructs and vectors.
