Abstract
The delivery of therapeutic genes for treatment of inherited or infectious diseases frequently requires lentiviral transduction of CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSC). Optimized transduction protocols with a therapeutic goal aim to maximize the number of transduction-positive cells while limiting the vector copy number that reach each individual cell. Importantly, the transduced HSC should maintain their "stem-like" properties. Here, we analyzed LentiBOOST™ reagent, a membrane-sealing poloxamer, with respect to enhancing lentiviral transduction of CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells. We demonstrate that inclusion of LentiBOOST™ in a standard HSC transduction protocol yields high transduction efficiencies while preserving the ability of the transduced HSC to differentiate into various hematopoietic lineages. Thus, LentiBOOST™ reagent can significantly improve lentiviral CD34+ HSC transduction protocols with the potential to improve production of gene-modified cell products.
期刊介绍:
Human Gene Therapy is the premier, multidisciplinary journal covering all aspects of gene therapy. The Journal publishes in-depth coverage of DNA, RNA, and cell therapies by delivering the latest breakthroughs in research and technologies. Human Gene Therapy provides a central forum for scientific and clinical information, including ethical, legal, regulatory, social, and commercial issues, which enables the advancement and progress of therapeutic procedures leading to improved patient outcomes, and ultimately, to curing diseases.
The Journal is divided into three parts. Human Gene Therapy, the flagship, is published 12 times per year. HGT Methods, a bimonthly journal, focuses on the applications of gene therapy to product testing and development. HGT Clinical Development, a quarterly journal, serves as a venue for publishing data relevant to the regulatory review and commercial development of cell and gene therapy products.
