Abstract

Gene therapy for ADA deficiency has been a model disease in which to evaluate hematopoietic stem cells for clinical gene therapy [1]. ADA deficiency has been a candidate disease because

  1. 1.

    ADA is a single polypeptide protein,

  2. 2.

    a clinically normal phenotype is associated with a wide range of enzymatic function (5–500% of normal), and

  3. 3.

    ADA is widely expressed so that tissue specific expression is not required.
