An Optimized Lentiviral Vector Efficiently Corrects the Human Sickle Cell Disease Phenotype
3 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Autologous transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells transduced with a lentiviral vector (LV) expressing an anti-sickling HBB variant is a potential treatment for sickle cell disease (SCD). With a clinical trial as our ultimate goal, we generated LV constructs containing an anti-sickling HBB transgene ( HBBAS3 ), a minimal HBB promoter, and different combinations of DNase I hypersensitive sites (HSs) from the...
