Development of gene therapy for SMEI using epilepsy model mouse.

In this study, to develop gene therapy for severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy model mice, pegylated immunoliposomes were investigated and improved. Whereas preparation steps of liposomes have been optimized, expression of transgene was not sufficient to apply the therapy to SMEI model mice. However, results of this study will lead to improvement of liposome that provides enough gene expression in the target tissue. Thus the gene therapy for SMEI model mice may be possible in near future.
