title: Genetic modification of human hematopoietic cells: preclinical optimization of oncoretroviral-mediated gene transfer for clinical trials.
abstract: This chapter provides information about the oncoretroviral transduction of human hematopoietic stem/ progenitor cells under clinically applicable conditions. We describe in detail a short -60 h transduction protocol which consistently yields transduction efficiencies in the range of 30-50% with five different oncoretroviral vectors. We discuss a number of parameters that affect transduction efficiency, including the oncoretroviral vector characteristics, the vector stock collection, the source of CD34+ cells and transduction conditions.
