Assembly and functional analysis of an S/MAR based episome with the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene [PDF]
Improving the efficacy of gene therapy vectors is still an important goal toward the development of safe and efficient gene therapy treatments. S/MAR (scaffold/matrix attached region)-based vectors are maintained extra-chromosomally in numerous cell ...

Improved functionality and potency of next generation BinMLV viral vectors toward safer gene therapy
To develop safer retroviral murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based vectors, we previously mutated and re-engineered the MLV integrase: the W390A mutation abolished the interaction with its cellular tethering factors, BET proteins, and a retargeting peptide ...

An Improved Protocol for the Production of Lentiviral Vectors
Summary: Lentiviral vectors are an ideal gene-delivery system for large gene-editing tools, such as the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas9 system, due to their high packaging capacity and broad tropism.

Progress in the use of adeno-associated viral vectors for gene therapy [PDF]
The development of safe and efficient gene transfer vectors is crucial for the success of gene therapy trials. A viral vector system promising to meet these requirements is based on the apathogenic adeno-associated virus (AAV-2), a member of the ...

Incorporation of aptamers in the terminal loop of shRNAs yields an effective and novel combinatorial targeting strategy. [PDF]
Gene therapy by engineering patient's own blood cells to confer HIV resistance can potentially lead to a functional cure for AIDS. Toward this goal, we have previously developed an anti-HIV lentivirus vector that deploys a combination of shRNA, ribozyme ...
