摘要

The present invention provides a method for introducing nucleic acid (30) into cells of a region of the human or animal body, which method comprises substantially occluding an efferent vessel from said body region and introducing said nucleic into that body region under pressure via said efferent vessel and further apparatus for introducing nucleic acid into cells of a region of the body comprising: a reservoir for holding a liquid formulation which comprises said nucleic acid; a catheter tube in fluid communication with said reservoir for conveying said liquid formulation to said body region via an efferent vessel of said body region; pressure development means for pressurising the liquid conveyed by the catheter; and occlusion means (8) for substantially occluding said efferent vessel.
