Abstract excerpt
The locus control region of the beta-globin gene cluster has been used previously to direct erythroid expression of globin genes from retroviral vectors for the purpose of gene therapy. Short erythroid regulatory elements represent a potentially valuable alternative to the locus control region. Among them, the GATA-1 enhancer HS2 was used to replace the retroviral enhancer within the 3'-long terminal repeat (LTR)...
