Distribution of Lentiviral Vector Integration Sites in Mice Following Therapeutic Gene Transfer to Treat β-thalassemia
8 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
A lentiviral vector encoding β-globin flanked by insulator elements has been used to treat β-thalassemia (β-Thal) successfully in one human subject. However, a clonal expansion was observed after integration in the HMGA2 locus, raising the question of how commonly lentiviral integration would be associated with possible insertional activation. Here, we report correcting β-Thal in a murine model using the same...
