Abstract
The present invention is related to a dual promoter lentiviral vector and methods of use for the treatment of diseases and disorders, specifically lysosomal storage disorders.
Claims26
A dual promoter lentivirus vector that expresses 1) a protein of interest, wherein the protein of interest is encoded by a transgene and wherein the protein of interest is associated with a lysosomal storage disorder and 2) a mutant form of inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2(IY)), wherein the lentivirus vector when transduced into a host cell confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (MPA) and/or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in vitro and/or in vivo and, wherein the mutant form of IMPDH2(IY) is encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 7, or a sequence having at least 85% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 7.
