"Gene Marking of Stem Cells."

According to an abstract submitted by the author to the 21st International Symposium on Blood Transfusion, entitled Cytokines and Growth Factors in Blood Transfusion, held September 25-27, 1996, in Groningen, the Netherlands, "Hematopoietic progenitor cells are appealing targets for gene transfer since they are really obtained, manipulated and returned to the host and their genetic modification could be effective in a variety of malignant and non-malignant disorders. The low efficiency of gene transfer with currently approved vectors has placed constraints on the development of therapeutic protocols where high level expression of the transferred gene would be necessary. Instead most...
