NON-TRAUMATIC ADMINISTRATION OF GENE DELIVERY VEHICLES

摘要

The non-traumatic administration of one or more gene delivery vehicles ("GDVs") to an animal. Such non-traumatic administration provides significant advantages over prior methods of administration because it does not require any injection or other invasion of the recipient, and therefore is much less injurious to the recipient. Further, because there is no injection or invasion, there is typically less need for highly skilled personnel to administer the GDVs, there is less need for sterile conditions, and there is less risk of infection, injury and other side effects.
