Abstract excerpt
Adenosine deaminase (ADA; EC 3.5.4.4) deficiency in humans is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that results in severe combined immunodeficiency disease. ADA-deficient mice generated by targeted gene disruption die perinatally, preventing postnatal analysis of ADA deficiency. We have recently rescued ADA-deficient fetuses from perinatal lethality by expression of an ADA minigene in the placentas of...
