p53 acts as a gatekeeper by preventing progression of oncogenically activated cells to full malignancy. by George Hinkal (371132)

Mouse Transplant Models for Evaluating the Oncogenic Risk of a Self-Inactivating XSCID Lentiviral Vector by Sheng Zhou (66217)

“…<div><p></p><p>Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy requires the use of integrating retroviral vectors in order to stably transmit a therapeutic gene to mature blood cells. Human clinical trials have shown that some vector integration events lead to disrupted regulation of proto-oncogenes resulting in disordered hematopoiesis including T-cell leukemia. …”
