New gene delivery approach could allow long-term persistence in proliferating cells

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) Researchers added a scaffold/matrix attachment region (S/MAR) to a conventional adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector used for gene transfer, and the modified vectors were able to establish colonies and maintain long-term transgene expression in HeLa cells.
