Abstract
Generation of lentivirus (LV)-based vectors holding multiple gene cassettes for coexpression of several therapeutic factors provides potent tools in both gene delivery studies as well as in gene therapy. Here we describe the development of such multigenic LV gene delivery vectors enabling cell-specific coexpression of antiangiogenic microRNA (miRNA) and protein factors and, if preferred, a fluorescent reporter, from RNApol(II)-driven expression cassettes orientated in a back-to-back fashion. This configuration may contribute to the development of new combination therapies for amelioration of diseases involving intraocular neovascularization including exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
