Abstract excerpt
Gene transduction of hematopoietic progenitors capable of reconstituting both primary and secondary recipients is an important milestone in preclinical development of gene therapy. Myeloablation conditioning prior to infusion of transduced stem cells causes significant host morbidity. In contrast, drug-resistance gene transfer utilizes judicious in vivo selection of transduced stem cells over time, reaching only...
