Improved Human β-globin Expression from Self-inactivating Lentiviral Vectors Carrying the Chicken Hypersensitive Site-4 (cHS4) Insulator Element
10 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Effective gene therapy for beta-thalassemia major (beta-TM) requires consistent, high expression of human beta-globin (hbeta-globin) in red blood cells (RBCs). Several groups have now shown that lentiviral (LV) vectors stably transmit the hbeta/hgamma-globin genes and large elements of the locus control region, resulting in correction of the murine thalassemia intermedia (TI) phenotype and survival of mice with...
