A summary of the elements used in developing non-integrating lentiviral vectors (NILVs) for site-directed integration in pre-clinical studies. Different approaches for direct integration or site-specific modifications of safe genomic loci in different studies are listed with attached references.
NILV Modification | Disease/Application | Transgene/Effector | Target | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
D64V | β-thalassemia/site-directed integration and KLF1 gene modification | Zinc finger nuclease/ZFN donor template–GFP expression cassette | γ-globin and HbF expression | [112] |
D64V | β-thalassemia/site-specific gene modification | Zinc finger nuclease/ZFN donor template | SOX6 region | [113] |
D64V | Fanconi anemia/gene targeting using ZFN and IDLVs | OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4 flanked by loxP sequences. | AAVS1 safe harbor locus in fibroblasts | [114] |
D64V | Site-specific gene modification | Transcription activator-like effector nucleases/TALEN donor template | COL7A1 gene | [115] |
