VIRAL RECOMBINANT VECTORS FOR EXPRESSION IN MUSCLE CELLS.

摘要

Non-replicatable viral recombinant vectors which are recognizable by muscle cell receptors, and furthermore modified by an insertion nucleic acid coding for a polypeptide sequence to be expressed in said muscle cells, are used to obtain a drug for treating muscle cell diseases or diseases which, by virtue of their location in the body, are accessible to the products of the expression of the above mentioned nucleotide sequence, as secreted by said muscle cells. A method for producing said vectors, vectors such as those described above, and their use in pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
