Abstract
Methods and pharmaceutical compositions for modifying the mesothelial cells of a mammalian recipient in situ are provided. The methods include forming a mesothelial cell expression system in vivo or ex vivo and administering the expression system to the mammalian recipient (by way of the body cavities normally lined by mesothelial cells). The mesothelial cell expression system is useful for the localized and systemic delivery of therapeutic agents in situ.
