Specific marking of hESCs-derived hematopoietic lineage by WAS-promoter driven lentiviral vectors.

Genetic manipulation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is instrumental for tracing lineage commitment and to studying human development. Here we used hematopoietic-specific Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome gene (WAS)-promoter driven lentiviral vectors (LVs) to achieve highly specific gene expression in...

Specific marking of hESCs-derived hematopoietic lineage by WAS-promoter driven lentiviral vectors.
description Genetic manipulation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is instrumental for tracing lineage commitment and to studying human development.
