The ability of a replication-deficient adenovirus vector to transfer a foreign gene into neural cells of adult rats in vivo has been analysed. A large number of neural cells (including neurons, astrocytes and ependymal cells) expressed an E coli lacZ transgene for at least 45 days after inoculation of various brain areas. Injecting up to 3 x 10(5) pfu in 10 mul did not result in any detectable cytopathic effects - these were only observed for very high titres of infection (>10(7) pfu 10 mul-1). Adenovirus vectors therefore appear to be a promising means for in vivo transfer of therapeutic genes into the central nervous system.
