In 1990, a clinical trial was started using retroviral-mediated transfer of the adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene into the T cells of two children with severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA- SCID). The number of blood T cells normalized as did many cellular and humoral immune responses. Gene treatment ended after 2 years, but integrated vector and ADA gene expression in T cells persisted. Although many components remain to be perfected, it is concluded here that gene therapy can be a safe and effective addition to treatment for some patients with this severe immunodeficiency disease.
1990年,一项临床试验启动,将腺苷脱氨酶(ADA)基因通过逆转录病毒介导转移到两名重症联合免疫缺陷(ADA - SCID)儿童的T细胞中。血液中T细胞的数量恢复正常,许多细胞免疫和体液免疫反应也恢复正常。基因治疗在2年后结束,但T细胞中整合的载体和ADA基因表达持续存在。尽管许多方面仍有待完善,但本文得出结论,对于一些患有这种严重免疫缺陷疾病的患者,基因治疗可以成为一种安全有效的治疗补充手段。
