Contents:
Gene therapy approaches for autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system and other tissues / Roberto Furlan ... [et al.] -- Gene therapeutics in autoimmune diabetes / Jon D. Piganelli, Massimo Trucco, and Nick Giannoukakis -- Immunogene therapy with nonviral vectors / Ciriaco A. Piccirillo, Argyrios N. Theofilopoulos, and Gérald J. Prud'homme -- Targeting antigen-specific T cells for gene therapy of autoimmune disease / Justin M. Johnson and Vincent K. Tuohy -- Therapeutic gene transfer for rheumatoid arthritis / Natacha Bessis and Marie-Christophe Boissier -- Gene therapy-based approach for immune tolerance induction using recombinant immunoglobulin carriers / Moustapha El-Amine ... [et al.] -- DNA vaccination against autoimmune diseases / Gérald J. Prud'homme ... [et al.].
Summary: Autoimmune diseases are diverse and responsible for considerable morbidity. Gene therapy offers the possibility of long-term, continuous delivery of a wide variety of immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, or tolerance-inducing agents. This book reviews research in gene therapy for autoimmune diseases with viral or non-viral vectors.
