CONTROLLED EXPRESSION OF TRANSGENES USING CLOSED-ENDED DNA (CEDNA) VECTORS

Abstract:

Provided herein are methods and constructs comprising close-ended DNA (ceDNA vectors) for maintaining or sustaining a level of transgene expression at a predetermined level or range for a predefined time, or increasing the level of transgene expression in a cell or a subject, where the transgene expression level can be modulated (e.g., increased) with one or more subsequent administrations (e.g., a re-dose or a booster administration) after an initial priming administration. Provided are methods for personalizing gene therapy throughout an individuals' lifespan to express a transgene at a level that meets an individual's needs, by modulating expression levels of a transgene expressed by ceDNA vector incrementally, or in a step-by-step manner, with one or more administrations after an initial priming administration (e.g., at time 0), thereby enabling titration of the level of expression of the transgene to a desired predetermined expression level or to a desired expression level range.
