ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a nucleic acid delivery vehicle with or having been provided with at least a tissue tropism for fibroblast-like or macrophage-like cells, preferably synoviocytes. In one aspect, the nucleic acid delivery vehicle is a virus capsid or a functional part, derivative and/or analogue thereof. Preferably, the virus capsid is an adenovirus capsid. Preferably, the adenovirus is a subgroup B adenovirus, such as adenovirus 16. Preferably, the tissue tropism is provided by at least a tissue tropism determining part of an adenovirus fiber protein or a functional derivative and/or analogue thereof. The invention further presents methods for the treatment of diseases, such as joint related diseases.
