Abstract: | Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy is potentially curative for a number of inherited and acquired disorders. However, poor gene transfer and expression in repopulating hematopoietic stem cells attenuate this potential. Here we review potential means of conferring a selective advantage to hematopoietic stem cells and their progeny, and discuss the issues that surround the use of selective advantages in vivo. |
