Abstract

Methods of genetically modifying donor cells by gene transfer for grafting into the central nervous system to treat defective, diseased or damaged cells are disclosed. The modified donor cells produce functional molecules that effect the recovery or improved function of cells in the CNS. Methods and vectors for carrying out gene transfer and grafting are described.
