[DIYbio] Re: Ah great, just found a small and safe gene therapy against herpes virus and similar skin viruses

Ah yes, it would be only a local effect.

But AFAIK the outbreaks occur around the area of first infection.

Maybe it'd be even possible to release interfering RNA into the bloodstream (from liver etc) and distribute them within the body?

and that by accident, actually searching for another topic. And by "great" I mean "oh crap". Because I have no idea how to get to try it and how to get it approved :P

It wouldn't integrate into mamalian genome, still be stably mantained a lifetime. But probably, you'll need a gene gun to put it into your skin cells. Or lipofusamin? No allergenic potential at all.

The fun thing is It's below 500 bp.

I guess still another project for archieving :P


If I ever caught that virus I'm so confident this is the perfect therapy, I would probably play guinea pig myself xD

 Or is there a way to work on this somehow?
