GENE EXPRESSION METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides a method of delivering a factor to non-neural tissue and a method of treating neuropathy. The method involves introducing an expression cassette including a nucleic acid for expression involved in the production of the factor into a neural cell, within which the nucleic acid for expression is expressed, and from which the factor is therefore secreted. The method also provides a method of promoting long-term gene expression in vivo, by employing a herpesvirus to deliver a transgene to a desired tissue of a host animal. The method also permits repeat administration of the transgene.
