The invention provides a nucleic acid delivery vehicle with or having been
provided with at least a tissue tropism for fibroblast-like or
macrophage-like cells, preferably synoviocytes. In one aspect, the
nucleic acid delivery vehicle is a virus capsid or a functional part,
derivative and/or analogue thereof. Preferably, the virus capsid is an
adenovirus capsid. Preferably, the adenovirus is a subgroup B adenovirus,
such as adenovirus 16. Preferably, the tissue tropism is provided by at
least a tissue tropism determining part of an adenovirus fiber protein or
a functional derivative and/or analogue thereof. The invention further
presents methods for the treatment of diseases, such as joint related
diseases.
