Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6949623
| Title: | Method for gene transfer into target cells with retrovirus | | Inventors: | Asada, Kiyozo; Shiga, Japan | | Summary: | Described herein is a method for increasing the efficacy of gene transfer to a target cell using a retrovirus. The invention provides a method for increasing the efficiency of gene transfer into target cells such that the transduction is affected by infecting target cells with a retrovirus in the presence of a mixture of a functional material having a retrovirus binding domain, and a second functional material having a target cell binding domain. The target cells may be selected from the group of unintentional hematopoietic progenitor cells and erythrocyte precursors, specifically pluripotent stem cells or embryopalstic stem cells. | | Abstract: | The present invention provides a method for increasing the efficiency of gene transfer into target cells with a retrovirus.
