Bone marrow mesenchymal cells for haemophilia A gene therapy using retroviral vectors with modified long‐terminal repeats
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Bone marrow (BM) cells are attractive target cells for ex vivo gene therapy of genetic diseases, including haemophilia A. However, BM-derived haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSCs) transduced with factor VIII (FVIII) retroviral vectors, failed to express FVIII in vivo. To overcome the limitations of HSCs for haemophilia gene therapy, BM-derived mesenchymal cells were explored as alternative target cells. The...
