1. A process for delivering a protein or peptide to an extravascular cell in a mammalian target tissue in vivo comprising: inserting an injection solution containing the protein or peptide into the lumen of an efferent or afferent vessel of the target tissue wherein the inserting of the injection solution results in an increase in pressure in a vein of the target tissue of 10 mm Hg or greater thereby resulting in delivery of the protein or peptide to the extravascular cell.
