The inutero gene therapy is a good way of overcoming the current deficiency in the vectors available today. Retroviral vectors have titers that are too low for effective invivo gene therapy. Thus if you in infect a fetus the number of cells to be infected are reduced dramatically, as well as cell division being very active...allowing integration of DNA.

Ariad will have competition for being the pioneer in this type of therapy...French Anderson said @ UCLA that he was very interested in being a pioneer in this therapy.

I also agree with you that it will be a while before they will be able to collect on this technology.

Best of luck,

Where'd He Go?
