<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 />
