Recombinase-activating gene-1 (RAG1)-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) patients lack B and T lymphocytes due to the inability to rearrange immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes. Gene therapy is an alternative for those RAG1-SCID patients who lack a suitable bone marrow donor. We designed lentiviral vectors with different internal promoters driving codon-optimized <i>RAG1</i> to ensure optimal expression. We used <i>Rag1</i> <sup><b>-/-</b></sup> mice as a preclinical model for ...[more]
