Patients weights at time of treatment: P1, 23 kg; P2, 21.5 kg; P3, 24.5 kg.
Cultured and transduced cells were harvested 96 hours after initiation of culture.
A calculated number based upon total cells infused, where the percent of CD34+ cells was determined on the day of infusion but where the percent of total cells expressing high levels of γc+ transgene was determined by flow cytometry with anti-CD132 fluorescent antibodies on a portion of the infused transduced cells retained in culture for 3 additional days to allow full expression of γc transgene. In the case of P2, whose cells at baseline expressed truncated, nonfunctional γc, transduced cells were clearly identifiable as a population with significantly increased anti-CD132 fluorescence.
A calculated number based on quantitative real-time DNA PCR using virus-specific primers and probes and on measurement of the percentage of cells expressing γc transgene on a portion of the transduced cells retained in culture for 3 additional days to ensure that only integrated vector contributed to the measured copy number.
