ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to plasmid constructs useful for nonviral human gene therapy. The plasmid constructs incorporate plasmid elements for achieving high copy number, avoiding plasmid instability an providing a plasmid selection process. These constructs can be used to deliver nucleic acids to cells in vehicles which are compatible with human therapeutic use.
