Abstract
Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) will require the safe transfer of CFTR cDNA to airway epithelia in vivo. We showed previously that a recombinant adenovirus, Ad2/ CFTR–1, expresses CFTR in vitro. As adenovirus rarely integrates, treatment will require repeated vector administration. We applied Ad2/CFTR-1 to intrapulmonary airway epithelia of cotton rats and nasal epithelia of Rhesus monkeys. In both species we detected CFTR mRNA and protein after repeated administration and in monkeys, protein was detected six weeks after repeat administration. The vector did not replicate and was rapidly cleared. Despite an antibody response, there was no evidence of a local or systemic inflammatory response after repeat administration. These data indicate that repetitive administration of Ad2/CFTR-1 is both safe and efficacious.
