Biochemical Correction of X-CGD by a Novel Chimeric Promoter Regulating High Levels of Transgene Expression in Myeloid Cells
26 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the CYBB gene encoding the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-oxidase catalytic subunit gp91(phox). A recent clinical trial for X-CGD using a spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV)-based γ-retroviral vector has demonstrated clear therapeutic benefits in several patients although complicated by...
