Title
Using gene transfer to circumvent off-target effects.
Authors
Miller, C P; Blau, C A
Abstract
Many recombinant growth factors have failed in clinical trials due to off-target effects. We describe a method for circumventing off-target effects that involves equipping cells with a conditionally active signaling protein that can be specifically activated by an exogenously administered synthetic ligand. We believe that this approach will have many applications in gene and cell therapy.
