Abstract excerpt
Improving hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) permissiveness to HIV-derived lentiviral vectors (LVs) remains a challenge for the field of gene therapy as high vector doses and prolonged ex vivo culture are still required to achieve clinically relevant transduction levels. We report here that Cyclosporin A (CsA) and Rapamycin (Rapa) significantly improve LV gene transfer in human and murine HSPC. Both...
