Particular viruses have been selected as gene delivery vehicles because of their capacities to carry foreign genes and their ability to efficiently deliver these genes associated with efficient gene expression. This book is designed to present the most recent advances in viral gene therapy BT - Viral Gene Therapy SP - Ch. 2 UR - https://doi.org/10.5772/18615 DO - 10.5772/18615 SN - PB - IntechOpen CY - Rijeka Y2 - 2024-04-20 ER -
