Abstract

We have used autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) as a setting to develop the genetic therapy of cancer in hematopoietic neoplasms based on the use of the bone marrow as a conduit through which to introduce regulatory molecules into the patient. This has involved three developmental phases: 1) learning how to develop genetic modification techniques; 2) learning how to develop in vivo selection techniques for the genetically modified cells; and 3) developing molecular vectors for modification of hematopoietic cells for therapy of cancer. These programs will be summarized in terms of their progress at the conference.
