The credibility and hence value of pre-clinical and clinical cystic fibrosis gene therapy studies depend on the assays used to evaluate gene transfer. Awareness of assay suitability, sensitivity and variability is therefore crucial to the design of experimental programmes. Here, we review the assays that are in use to assess the efficacy of gene transfer in pre-clinical and clinical CF gene therapy research, highlight their weaknesses and suggest possible new strategies that may help to overcome current limitations.
临床前和临床囊性纤维化基因治疗研究的可信度以及由此产生的价值取决于用于评估基因转移的检测方法。因此,了解检测方法的适用性、灵敏度和变异性对于实验方案的设计至关重要。在此,我们综述了目前用于评估临床前和临床囊性纤维化基因治疗研究中基因转移效果的检测方法,强调了它们的不足之处,并提出了可能有助于克服当前局限性的新策略。
