Autoimmune anemia in macaques following erythropoietin gene therapy
26 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
We delivered the homologous erythropoietin (Epo) cDNA driven from a doxycycline-regulated promoter via recombinant adeno-associated virus in skeletal muscle of 9 cynomolgus macaques. Upon induction, rapid supraphysiologic levels of Epo were obtained. Unexpectedly, some individuals developed a profound anemia that correlated with the appearance of neutralizing antibodies against the endogenous Epo. Both the...
