Described are fibroblasts transduced with genetic material encoding a polypeptide or protein studied and, optionally, a marker to be chosen, as well as methods for making and using the transduced fibroblasts. These fibroblasts serve to release the encoded polypeptide or protein, such as an enzyme, a hormone or a drug, in an individual who has undergone a transplant or an implant of transduced cells. |
