Abstract excerpt
Transfer of drug resistance genes to hematopoietic cells is being studied as a means to protect against the myelosuppression associated with cancer chemotherapy and as a strategy for the in vivo selection and amplification of genetically modified cells. The goal of this study was to test if retroviral-mediated gene transfer of a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) variant (L22Y) could be used for in vivo selection of...
