- Abstract
A bstract: Transfer of a globin gene into stem cells along with the regulatory elements required to achieve high level expression in maturing erythroid cells would provide effective gene therapy for Cooley's Anemia. We have explored the use of recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors for this purpose. A vector designated rHS32Aγ*3′RE that contains regulatory elements from the locus control and flanking regions, integrates as a stable head-to-tail concatamer in erythroleukemia cells at a high multiplicity of infection and exhibits high level, regulated γ globin gene expression. Inducible expression of the non-structural Rep proteins of wild-type AAV in HeLa cells transduced with rAAV vectors does not increase overall integration frequency, but targeted integration of rHS32Aγ*3′RE into human chromosome 19 was documented.
