<strong>AM</strong>ERICAN SOCIETY OF GENE THERAPY • Final Program 29<br />

SCIENTIFIC <strong>PROGR</strong><strong>AM</strong><br />

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 2005<br />

Education Session 124<br />

Bioavailability and Pharmacokinetics<br />

Pharmacokinetic analysis translates the disposition characteristics<br />

<strong>of</strong> macromolecules into quantitative parameters that can be used for<br />

direct comparison <strong>of</strong> medicinal agents as well as with physiological<br />

parameters such as blood flow and the rate <strong>of</strong> cellular endocytosis.<br />

Careful collection and experimental analysis <strong>of</strong> biological samples<br />

as well as theoretical development <strong>of</strong> appropriate mathematical<br />

models are necessary for accurate prediction <strong>of</strong> drug disposition and<br />

comparison <strong>of</strong> treatment regimens. This session, designed for the<br />

bench scientist and the clinician alike, will discuss basic<br />

pharmacokinetic concepts, methods for modeling, study design,<br />

data analysis, population kinetics and their application to gene<br />

delivery systems.<br />

<strong>Gene</strong>-Based Vaccines<br />

This session will give the fundamentals as well as updates about<br />

<strong>Gene</strong>-based vaccines. The technology, immune mechanisms, and<br />

second generation advances describing new delivery systems and<br />

the use <strong>of</strong> adjuvants will be presented. An overview <strong>of</strong> clinical and<br />

research applications will be described.<br />
