Directed Engineering of a High-expression Chimeric Transgene as a Strategy for Gene Therapy of Hemophilia A
3 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Human coagulation factor VIII (fVIII) is inefficiently biosynthesized in vitro and has proven difficult to express at therapeutic levels using available clinical gene-transfer technologies. Recently, we showed that a porcine and certain hybrid human/porcine fVIII transgenes demonstrate up to 100-fold greater expression than human fVIII. In this study, we extend these results to describe the use of a humanized,...
