149 Rue de Sevres of these limitations have now been overcome. Progress in this area is discussed in detail in several recently 75015 Paris France published reviews (Halene and Kohn, 2000; Sadelain et al., 2000; Williams and Smith, 2000; Candotti, 2000). Packaging cell lines have been designed to produce a high titer of retroviral particles, while pseudotyping ofIn principle, gene therapy is an attractive option for invirions with envelopes from monkey or feline retroviherited blood-borne diseases, since gene transfer into ruses substantially increases the transduction rate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with self-renewal capac-CD34 () hematopoietic precursor cells (Kelly et al., ity should lead to cure. In addition, though still poorly 2000). During the ex vivo infection phase, usage of cytocharacterized, HSC can easily be retrieved in relatively kines, ie, flt3-ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), and megalarge numbers in the bone marrow or by mobilization in karyocyte differentiating factors (MGDF), enable cell diblood and be thus physically accessible to gene transfer. vision without differentiation of early hematopoietic However, several clinical trials based on gene transfer progenitor cells. Coating of culture bags by a fibronectin into hematopoietic cells did not lead to efficient transfragment (CH296) also increases the transduction rate duction rates of these cells (reviewed in Candotti, 2000). by bringing together cells and viral particles (Hanenberg The clinical grade approved vectors enabling gene inteet al., 1996). Finally, modification of vectors by trimming gration into the genome of hematopoietic cells are all silencing sequences or introducing an insulator could derived from murine oncoretroviruses. Such vectors enhance transgene transcription rate.
