Abstract
A method of causing production and secretion into the bloodstream of a human patient of a biologically active enzyme for which the human patient suffers a deficiency; the method involves introducing into the human patient donor bone marrow stromal cells which have been transfected with a gene encoding the enzyme, so that the introduced cells can adhere to a bone cavity surface of the patient and produce and secrete the active enzyme.
