Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to compare the immune response to gene transfer with helper virus or helper virus-free vectors.
Methods: Two vector stocks were delivered by stereotactic injection into the striatum and then the immune response markers including TCR, CD4, CD8, MHC-I and MHC-II were examined.
Results: The data showed that the immune response to either vector stock reached maximal levels by 4 to 7 days after gene transfer. However, the maximal levels of all markers to the helper virus-free stock were 3 to 10 folds lower than the markers to the helper virus stock. The immune response to the helper virus-free stock declined rapidly to be close to the levels of PBS control.
Conclusion: The immune response to the helper virus-free stock is significantly less than the response to the vector stock that contains helper virus.
