Abstract
The present invention provides a method for treating ischemic tissue in a mammal which comprises injecting said tissue with an effective amount of a nucleic acid capable of expressing an angiogenic protein. The method of the present invention may be used to treat any ischemic tissue, i.e., a tissue having a deficiency in blood as the result of an ischemic disease. Such tissues can include, for example, muscle, brain, kidney and lung. Ischemic diseases include, for example, cerebrovascular ischemia, renal ischemia, pulmonary ischemia, limb ischemia, ischemic cardiomyopathy and myocardial ischemia.
