Abstract
A DNA expression vector is described which is characterized in that it comprises a DNA sequence that codes a protein which possesses the biological activity of nitrogen monoxide synthase (NOS) and eukaryotic regulation elements, wherein said eukaryotic regulation elements result in the expression of said DNA sequence in eukaryotic cells, as well as the use of the expression vector for treatment or prevention of vascular disorders.
Claims9
A pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active ingredient a pharmaceutical agent comprising a DNA sequence that codes for a protein which possesses the biological activity of inducible nitrogen monoxide synthase (iNOS) and eukaryotic regulation elements, wherein said eukaryotic regulation elements result in the expression of said DNA sequence in eukaryotic cells, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active ingredient a pharmaceutical agent comprising the plasmid pSCMV-iNOS according to FIG. 4e which contains a DNA sequence that codes for a protein which possesses the biological activity of inducible nitrogen monoxide synthase (INOS) and eukaryotic regulation elements, wherein said eukaryotic regulations elements result in the expression of said DNA sequence in eukaryotic cells, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
