Abstract

Viral gene transfer, known as transduction, is a powerful research tool for studying the biology of chondrocytes in novel ways and also a technology enabling the use of gene therapy for regenerating cartilage and treating diseases that affect cartilage, such as osteoarthritis. Adenovirus, retrovirus, lentivirus, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) are most commonly used to transduce chondrocytes. Although AAV is able to transduce chondrocytes in situ by intra-articular injection, chondrocytes are most commonly transduced in monolayer culture using the four vectors mentioned above. Protocols for achieving this are described, along with a discussion of the variables that can influence transduction efficiency.
