Questions and Answers

What are some of the vector properties to be checked and described when proposing a new gene therapy approach?

  • Transduction efficiency, targeting, and immunogenicity
  • Safety, transduction efficiency, and production
  • Duration of the GT effect, targeting, and immunogenicity
  • Stability, expression level, and targeting (correct)

What is the main difference between IN VIVO and EX VIVO gene therapy delivery methods?

  • IN VIVO involves injecting the GT directly inside the cells, while EX VIVO involves retrieving cells from the patient (correct)
  • IN VIVO involves reaching the final organ directly, while EX VIVO involves retrieving cells from the patient
  • IN VIVO involves selecting transduced cells in vitro, while EX VIVO involves reaching the final organ directly
  • IN VIVO involves retrieving cells from the patient, while EX VIVO involves injecting the GT directly inside the cells

What does EX VIVO gene therapy delivery method involve?

  • Selecting transduced cells in vitro and injecting them back into the patient
  • Retrieving cells from the patient, transducing them in vitro, and selecting the transduced cells (correct)
  • Reaching the final organ directly by injecting the GT
  • Injecting the GT directly inside the cells
