Abstract excerpt
To attain therapeutic levels of gene-modified hematopoietic stem cells, it may be necessary in the majority of disorders to provide an in vivo selective advantage that facilitates the expansion of their numbers. A popular strategy to achieve in vivo selection has been to employ drug selection while coexpressing a transgene that conveys chemoresistance, such as O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT). An...
