Abstract

A method for specifically suppressing the capacity of a mammal receiving gene therapy to mount an immune response to a given expressed gene of the deficient gene in question, which response is caused by the administration of "foreign" DNA encoding an antigenic protein or vectors comprising such DNA for expression of the deficient gene in the patient receiving gene therapy.
