Abstract
The present invention provides a viral vector that ensures highly efficient gene transfer into renal cells and its use. The use of a Paramyxovirus vector enables gene transfer into renal cells with high efficiency. The gene transferred by in vivo administration can be continuously expressed in the renal cells over a prolonged period. The vector of the present invention is suitably used in gene therapy for kidney.
