Development of virus vectors for gene therapy of β chain hemoglobinopathies: flanking with a chromatin insulator reduces γ-globin gene silencing in vivo
28 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
We have previously described the development of oncoretrovirus vectors for human gamma-globin using a truncated beta-globin promoter, modified gamma-globin cassette, and alpha-globin enhancer. However, one of these vectors is genetically unstable, and both vectors exhibit variable expression patterns in cultured cells, common characteristics of oncoretrovirus vectors for globin genes. To address these problems,...
