This invention pertains to a method of infecting an organ or a tissue other than a liver with an effective amount of a vector carrying genetic material of interest. This invention features a method of infecting kidney cells by introducing into the vasculature of a kidney a vector carrying genetic material of interest and maintaining the vector in contact with the renal vasculature for a period of time sufficient to allow infection of kidney cells with an effective amount of the vector, and under conditions which protect the kidney from ischemic damage. This method allows for infection of a significant number of renal endothelial cells. The method of the invention can be used for both in vivo and ex vivo applications.

L'invention porte sur une méthode d'infection d'un organe ou d'un tissu autre que le foie à l'aide d'une quantité efficace d'un vecteur porteur du matériau génétique d'intérêt. L'invention concerne notamment une méthode d'infection de cellules hépatiques consistant à introduire dans le système vasculaire d'un rein un vecteur porteur du matériau génétique d'intérêt et à maintenir le vecteur en contact avec le système vasculaire rénal pendant un temps suffisant pour permettre l'infection des cellules hépatiques avec une dose efficace du vecteur et dans des conditions protégeant le rein des dommages dus à l'ischémie. Ladite méthode qui permet d'infecter un nombre important de cellules hépatiques peut s'appliquer in vivo et in vitro.
