Vector integration is nonrandom and clustered and influences the fate of lymphopoiesis in SCID-X1 gene therapy
1 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Recent reports have challenged the notion that retroviruses and retroviral vectors integrate randomly into the host genome. These reports pointed to a strong bias toward integration in and near gene coding regions and, for gammaretroviral vectors, around transcription start sites. Here, we report the results obtained from a large-scale mapping of 572 retroviral integration sites (RISs) isolated from cells of 9...
