Comparison of Factor VIII Transgenes Bioengineered for Improved Expression in Gene Therapy of Hemophilia A
17 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Successful gene therapy of hemophilia A depends on the sustained expression of therapeutic levels of factor VIII (fVIII). Because of mRNA instability, interactions with resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones, and the requirement for carbohydrate-facilitated transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus, fVIII is expressed at much lower levels from mammalian cells than other proteins of similar size and...
