BACKGROUND: Retroviral transduction of human hematopoietic stem cells is an attractive strategy in gene therapy; however, transduction efficiency and duration of transgene expression may not be satisfactory in current protocols. Co-expression of a human multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) with a therapeutic gene affords selectable growth advantage to genetically modified cells. METHODS: A bicistronic retrovirus...
