Recombinant defective virus contg. DNA encoding glutamate decarboxylase

摘要

Recombinant defective virus contg. a DNA sequence (I) encoding a protein (II) with glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity, is new. Also new are:(1) a virus as above where the DNA is cDNA or gDNA which is under the control of a LTR-RSV promoter (which can be expressed in the majority of nerve cells);(2) a pharmaceutical compsn. contg. the virus;(3) mammalian cells infected with this virus, and(4) implants contg. these cells and an extracellular matrix.
