Detection of proviral sequences in MPS I tissues. (A) Proviral -ID and genomic control dystrophin (MD) PCR on day 21 transduced adherent layer LTMC cells from dogs M2 through M6. The vectors used for each culture were M-M48ID and L-LCIDSN. Positive controls were 10% M48ID producer cell line DNA mixed with 90% untransduced MPS I canine DNA and 1% M48ID producer cell line DNA mixed with 99% untransduced MPS I canine DNA. All samples and control DNA mixes were positive for dystrophin sequences, and all transduced LTMCs were positive for proviral -ID. Untransduced LTMC DNA from dog M6 (UM6) and reagent controls were negative for proviral sequences. (B) Semiquantitative neor and genomic control dystrophin PCR on LTMCs transduced with M48ID (L1) and LCIDSN (L2); postinfusion blood (PB) and marrow (BM) cells from M2 with 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, and 10% positive control mixed with untransduced canine DNA; and negative untransduced control (0). (C) PCR amplification and Southern blot analysis of 10 CFU from M2 at 1 year postinfusion; dystrophin genomic control (MD), proviral -ID (ID), and neor (neo) PCR analysis. This sample demonstrates 10 CFU positive for genomic DNA (MD) and 1 of 10 CFU positive for both -ID and neor sequences (CFU 5). Abbreviations: M, marker lane; MC, methylcellulose control; RC, reagent control; +C, positive control DNA.
