Interesting-Using an ex vivo sheep trachea model, we demonly, despite non-viral vectors being arguably less strated that cationic lipid-mediated gene transfer, but efficient than viruses in animal models and labora-not adenoviral vectors or recombinant Sendai virus tory studies, clinical trials have shown that this might [22] , was inhibited by normal mucus, with removal Extracellular barriers include the presence of infected mucus and sputum, mucociliary clearance and tight junctions between the cells, which limit the access of viral vectors to receptors localised on the basolateral membrane. ./cache/cord-328899-kog99kk5.txt ./txt/cord-328899-kog99kk5.txt
