title: Systemic replacement therapy from genetically modified epidermal keratinocytes.
abstract: Epidermal keratinocytes are a potential vehicle for gene transfer and systemic delivery. We review data showing that epidermis-secreted protein does indeed reach the circulation, and we discuss factors that bear upon the issue of how much protein epidermal keratinocytes can deliver to the circulation.
