Retroviral mediated gene transfer into bone marrow progenitor cells: use of beta-galactosidase as a selectable marker

Abstract: Recombinant retroviruses have been utilized as vectors for gene transfer in model systems of gene therapy. Since many of these model systems require the transplantation of genetically modified primary cells it is important to devise methods which will allow the rapid and efficient selection for transplantation of only the cells which are capable of expressing high levels of the transferred gene. This report describes the use of beta-galactosidase as such a selectable marker. Bone marrow progenitors are infecte… Show more

“…However, these approaches have proven technically challenging because of the difficulty of using A/J as a background for transgenic embryos and because of the refractory nature of myeloid cells to transfection (data not shown; Chisholm and Symonds 1988;Rupprecht and Coleman 1991;Wright and Farber 1991;Stacey et al 1993;Nicolet and Paulnock 1994). The use of a substitute permissive transgenic background or the use of viral vectors may facilitate future analysis of Naip2 and Naip5 by functional complementation (Strair et al 1990;Haddada et al 1993).…”

“…As for cytochemical markers, such as alkaline phosphatase and bacterial ␤-galactosidase, relatively high endogenous enzyme activity in some cell types and the necessity for substrate loading into the cytoplasm have limited their use. 12,13 Cell surface markers, such as the low affinity nerve growth factor receptor and CD24, have allowed rapid and efficient selection of transduced cells, 8,14 although they have the potential of eliciting unintended biological effects in vivo, as well as raising antibodies to eliminate gene-modified cells if they express foreign surface antigens.…”

“…FACS analysis has been used to enrich cells stably transfected with the P-Gal gene driven by various promoters (24)(25)(26)(27)(28). We adapted this procedure for use with cells transiently transfected with a ,3-Gal expression vector (pCH110), as well as pLTRluc, containing the full-length MMTV LTR-driving luciferase, and the PR expression vector, as shown in Fig.…”
