Gene transfection is an extremely useful tool with which to explore mechanisms of gene regulation, to examine the molecular physiology of proteins in cultured cells, and to produce transgenic organisms. Several transfection techniques that employ viral and nonviral vectors have been used successfully to transfect functional genes into lung cells in vivo. This report reviews some of the gene transfection techniques that have been applied to the intact lung, an organ that offers unique challenges and opportunities. Results indicate that somatic cell gene therapy is feasible and that gene-based therapies can be developed for acute and chronic lung diseases.
