Characterization of a new IN-I-PpoI fusion protein and a homology-arm containing transgene cassette that improve transgene expression persistence and 28S rRNA gene-targeted insertion of lentiviral vectors.

Targeting transgene integration into a safe genomic locus would be very important for gene therapy. We have generated lentivirus vectors containing the ribosomal RNA-recognising I-PpoI endonuclease fused to viral integrase, and transgene cassettes with target site homology arms to enhance insertion...
