Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Gene Transfer for Controlled Graft-versus-Host Disease and Graft-versus-Leukemia: Clinical Follow-up and Improved New Vectors
10 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that severe graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), associated with the therapeutic infusion of donor lymphocytes after allogeneic marrow transplantation (BMT), can be efficiently controlled by the SFCMM-2-mediated expression of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) suicide gene into the allogeneic lymphocytes. This was achieved by selective elimination of transduced lymphocytes...
