About: Repoxygen

An Entity of Type: company, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Repoxygen was the tradename for a type of gene therapy to produce erythropoietin (EPO). It was under preclinical development by Oxford Biomedica as a possible treatment for anaemia but was abandoned in 2003. The project became infamous when it was mentioned during the criminal trial of Thomas Springstein, a former track coach for some German athletes, who was found guilty of giving athletes performance enhancing drugs without their knowledge. An email in which Springstein attempted to obtain Repoxygen was read by a prosecutor, which led to a flurry of media coverage.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Repoxygen™ ist der Markenname für eine Art von Gentherapie, die bei Mäusen bei niedriger Sauerstoffkonzentration eine kontrollierte Produktion von Erythropoietin (EPO) bewirkt. Repoxygen wurde von Oxford Biomedica zur Behandlung von Anämie entwickelt. Es befindet sich noch in vorklinischen Studien und wurde noch nicht in größerem Umfang am Menschen getestet. Repoxygen wurde als viraler Gentherapievektor konstruiert, der das humane EPO-Gen unter die Kontrolle eines sogenannten Hypoxie-Kontrollelements (HRE) bringt. Das HRE kann mutmaßlich eine verminderte Sauerstoffkonzentration wahrnehmen und daraufhin das EPO-Gen einschalten. Repoxygen wird per Injektion in Muskelgewebe verabreicht, um dort die Synthese von EPO zu induzieren. Physiologisch wird EPO in der Niere gebildet. (de)

The World Anti-Doping Agency banned "gene doping" in 2003 and as of 2009 was researching detection methods for substances such as repoxygen. (en)
