Recent successes in treating genetic immunodeficiencies have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of stem cell gene therapy. However, the use of gammaretroviral vectors in these trials led to insertional activation of nearby oncogenes and leukemias in some study subjects, prompting studies of modified or alternative vector systems. Here we describe the use of foamy virus vectors to treat canine leukocyte...
