Abstract excerpt
A primary challenge in lentiviral gene therapy of β-hemoglobinopathies is to maintain low vector copy numbers to avoid genotoxicity while being reliably therapeutic for all genotypes. We designed a high-titer lentiviral vector, LVβ-shα2, that allows coordinated expression of the therapeutic βA-T87Q-globin gene and of an intron-embedded miR-30-based short hairpin RNA (shRNA) selectively targeting the α2-globin...
