Enhancers Are Major Targets for Murine Leukemia Virus Vector Integration
6 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Retroviral vectors have been used in successful gene therapies. However, in some patients, insertional mutagenesis led to leukemia or myelodysplasia. Both the strong promoter/enhancer elements in the long terminal repeats (LTRs) of murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based vectors and the vector-specific integration site preferences played an important role in these adverse clinical events. MLV integration is...
