摘要:Autoimmune diseases are diverse and responsible for considerable morbidity. Gene therapy offers the possibility of long-term, continuous delivery of a wide variety of immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, or tolerance-inducing agents. This book reviews research in gene therapy for autoimmune diseases with viral or non-viral vectors.
