Viral-mediated FGF-2 treatment of the constant light damage model of photoreceptor degeneration

Viral-mediated FGF-2 treatment of the constant light damage model of photoreceptor degeneration These experiments evaluate overexpression of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) as a treatment to decrease photoreceptor cell death in the constant light damage model of retinal degeneration. Increased FGF-2 expression was accomplished by gene transfer to the retina via injection into the subretinal space of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV), containing the FGF-2 gene. Rescue effects were assessed by morphometry and electroretinographic analysis. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Documenta Ophthalmologica Springer Journals

Abstract

These experiments evaluate overexpression of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) as a treatment to decrease photoreceptor cell death in the constant light damage model of retinal degeneration. Increased FGF-2 expression was accomplished by gene transfer to the retina via injection into the subretinal space of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV), containing the FGF-2 gene. Rescue effects were assessed by morphometry and electroretinographic analysis.
