Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An isolated muscle progenitor cell being MyoD positive, CD34 negative and CD45 negative is disclosed. The muscle progenitor cell is genetically modified to express at least one neurotrophic factor. In addition, cell populations are disclosed, comprising at least four subpopulations of muscle cells each being genetically modified to express a different neurotrophic factor, wherein said neurotrophic factor is selected from the group consisting of glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), insulin growth factor (IGF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Uses of the cell populations are also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated cell population, comprising at least four subpopulations of human muscle progenitor cells, each of the at least four subpopulations being distinct in that they are genetically modified to express a different neurotrophic factor, wherein the neurotrophic factor is selected from the group consisting of glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), insulin growth factor (IGF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). 2. The isolated cell population of claim 1 , wherein said muscle progenitor cells comprise skeletal muscle progenitor cells. 3. The isolated cell population of claim 1 , wherein each of said at least four subpopulations are present in substantially equal amounts. 4. The isolated cell population of claim 1 , wherein each of said at least four subpopulations is genetically modified to express a single neurotrophic factor.
