Abstract

Survival of gene therapy vectors in the bloodstream, in the presence of cells and proteins of the immune response, is vital for a variety of therapeutic applications. Complement has previously been shown to be activated by a variety of gene therapy vectors. An inflammatory response in blood has been reported in response to adenovirus, but has yet to be demonstrated with baculovirus vectors (bv). A blood ‘loop’ model was used to study human innate immunity to an AcMNPV bv vector in three healthy volunteers and to assess the effects of two complement inhibitors, Compstatin and C5a receptor antagonist (C5aRA).
