Beta thalassemia gene therapy using lentiviral vectors
Recent years, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has proved to be the successful cure for patients with thalassemia major, however this is restricted due to limited matched-related donor. Its complications include chronic graft-versus-host disease in 5-8% of patients. So, a molecular approach, such as gene therapy for direct normal beta globin gene transmission, seems quite promising ...
متن کاملHIV-Derived Lentiviral Vectors: Current Progress toward Gene Therapy and DNA Vaccination
Lentiviral vectors are promising gene delivery tools capable of transducing a variety of dividing and non-dividing cells, including pluripotent stem cells which are refractory for transduction by murine retroviruses. Although there is a growing debate on the safety of lentiviral vectors for gene transfer, in particular for those derived from human immunodeficiency viruses, type one (HIV-1) and ...
متن کاملAdenovirus gene therapy for ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies and, although conventional chemotherapy provides some initial positive response, drug resistance can often occur within months. Thus, it is not surprising that other strategies are sought, and a number of groups have used virus gene therapy as one possible route to supplement conventional chemotherapy. Adenovirus vectors...
متن کاملTargeting vectors for cancer gene therapy.
Establishment of a system that allows selective gene transfer to a tumor is expected to enable targeted therapy. Using a combination of fiber-modified adenovirus and antibody to a cell surface antigen, we have explored methods to enhance the selectivity of gene transfer. In addition, we aimed to establish a systematic screening method to search for antibody and cell surface target candidates fo...
متن کاملRetroviral Vectors for Cancer Gene Therapy.
Advances in molecular technologies have led to the discovery of many disease-related genetic mutations as well as elucidation of aberrant gene and protein expression patterns in several human diseases, including cancer. This information has driven the development of novel therapeutic strategies, such as the utilization of small molecules to target specific cellular pathways and the use of retro...
