| Research Abstract |
In this study, appropriate vectors for Replacement Therapy" were investigated. To express a target gene to photoreceptors, rhodopsin promoter was tested. But the target gene expression induced by the promoter was extremely low. The regulator element of IRBP in conjunction with PDE promoter improve the expression, which was restricted to photoreceptors. But the region of the trans-gene expressed cells was limited to the injected area.
