Figure 6.1
An RNA viral gene therapy vector, engineered to carry the
genetic information for a protein product, is incubated with blood or bone
marrow cells removed from a patient. The foreign DNA sequence integrates
into the cell's genetic material and when the cells are returned to the patient,
they direct the production of the protein product. RNA gene therapy vectors
are engineered to be unable to direct the production of new virus particles.
