Optimization of human erythropoietin secretion from MLV-infected human primary fibroblasts used for encapsulated cell therapy

BACKGROUND: The transplantation of encapsulated cells genetically engineered to secrete human erythropoietin (hEpo) represents an alternative to repeated injections of the recombinant hormone for the treatment of Epo-responsive anemia. In the present study ...

Prevention of the initial host immuno-inflammatory response determines the long-term survival of encapsulated myoblasts genetically engineered for erythropoietin delivery

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

The present study investigates the respective roles of both the host immune response and the metabolic requirements in determining the long-term survival of erythropoietin-secreting myoblasts within encapsulating polymer membranes. Hollow-fiber capsules lo ...
