ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to recombinant adenoviral vectors bearing exogenous genes that encode for therapeutic proteins useful in the treatment of hepatic cirrhosis and generalized fibrosis, such as renal fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, hypertrophic scars and keloid of the skin, and/or in other target organs susceptible to suffer from it. The invention also relates to a mechanism of tissue-specific recognition of the affected cells by means of delivery of therapeutic genes to cirrhotic organs.
