Beta-globin vectors

Name Author and year Main characteristics
TNS9 May 2000
Rivella 2003
- Correction of a mouse model of thalassemia intermedia (2000) and prevention of lethality in a mouse model of thalassemia major (2003)
- Variable expression
βA(T87Q) Pawliuk 2001 - Correction of two SCA mouse models
