Abstract excerpt
Clinical trials evaluating the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk)/ganciclovir (GCV) suicide gene therapy system for the control of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) have been limited by low transduction efficiencies and inefficient selection procedures. In this study, we designed and evaluated a novel chimeric suicide gene consisting of the extracellular and transmembrane domains of human CD34 and...
