DESCRIPTON: (Applicant's abstract) Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) vector have great potential for gene therapy of neurological diseases and for studies in basic neuroscience. For example, HSV-1 vectors that express tyrosine hydroxylase have supported long-term (1 year) biochemical and behavioral correction of the 6-hydorxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model of Parkinson's disease. However, these vectors have been complicated by side effects, such as cytopathic effects and immune responses, caused principally by the helper virus. Therefore, this laboratory recently developed a helper virus-free packaging system for these vectors. This system substantially addresses many of the previous problems with the vector system, but suffer from low titers. Therefore, this fellowship proposes two different approaches to increase the titers of the helper virus-free vector system. And then additional experiments will be performed to use these increased titers, in combination with improved vectors for expressing catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes, to correct the 6-OHDA rat model of PD.

描述：（申请人摘要）单纯疱疹病毒 (HSV-1) 载体 在神经系统疾病的基因治疗方面具有巨大的潜力 研究基础神经科学。例如，HSV-1 载体表达 酪氨酸羟化酶支持长期（1 年）生化和 6-羟多巴胺（6-OHDA）大鼠模型的行为矫正 帕金森病。然而，这些向量变得复杂了 副作用，例如细胞病变效应和免疫反应，引起 主要由辅助病毒引起。因此，该实验室最近 为这些载体开发了辅助无病毒包装系统。这 系统基本上解决了之前的许多问题 载体系统，但滴度较低。因此，本次联谊会 提出了两种不同的方法来增加辅助滴度 无病毒载体系统。然后将进行额外的实验 进行使用这些增加的滴度，结合改进的 表达儿茶酚胺生物合成酶的载体，以校正 6-OHDA大鼠PD模型。
