Enhanced Host Defense After Gene Transfer in the Murine p47phox-Deficient Model of Chronic Granulomatous Disease
1 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
The p47phox-/- mouse exhibits a phenotype similar to that of human chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and, thus, is an excellent model for the study of gene transfer technology. Using the Moloney murine leukemia virus-based retroviral vector MFG-S encoding the human form of p47phox, we performed ex vivo gene transfer into Sca-1+ p47phox-/- marrow progenitor cells without conditioning of donors with...
