COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING VIRAL GENE TRANSFER TO HUMAN HEMATOPOIETIC CELLS

摘要

Methods and compositions for enhancing viral gene transfer, such as lentiviral gene transfer, and improving the efficacy of gene delivery to cells such as primitive hematopoietic cells, are described. These methods and compositions are based on the use of pyrimido[4,5- b]indole derivatives. Cell-based compositions and methods useful for therapeutic indications amenable to treatment with gene therapies, including hematopoietic stem cell therapies, are also described.
