RESUMO
The ability of skin to support long lasting expression of genes delivered with a particle-mediated system was evaluated in rabbits inoculated with cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV) DNA. The optimal delivery force for maximal gene expression in rabbit skin was determined in transient beta-galactosidase assays. Forty-five sites in four rabbits were then inoculated at 350-400 p.s.i. with CRPV DNA. All sites (100%) formed papillomas with multiple papillomas at most sites. These results support the feasibility of using a particle-mediated delivery system for gene therapy and suggest that some papillomavirus features, such an origin of replication, may be well suited for use in vectors to target long term expression to skin.
