High-level globin gene expression mediated by a recombinant adeno-
associated virus genome that contains the 3' gamma globin gene regulatory
element and integrates as tandem copies in erythroid cells

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors are being evaluated for
gene therapy applications. Using purified rAAV containing a mutationally
marked globin gene (A(gamma)*) and sites 2, 3, and 4 from the locus control
region (rHS432A(gamma)*), but lacking a drug- resistance gene, we
investigated the relationship between multiplicity of infection (MOI), gene
expression, and unselected genome integration in erythroid cells. Most
primary erythroid progenitors were transduced as reflected by A(gamma)*
mRNA in mature colonies but only at an MOI of greater than 5 x 10(7). Using
immortalized erythroleukemia cells as a model, we found that fewer than one
half of the colonies that contained the A(gamma)* transcript had an
integrated, intact rHS432A(gamma)* genome. rHS432A(gamma)* integrated as a
single copy with expression at approximately 50% the level of an endogenous
gamma globin gene. A second vector, rHS32A(gamma)*3'RE, containing the
regulatory element (RE) from 3' to the chromosomal A(gamma) globin gene,
integrated as an intact, tandem head to tail concatamer with a median copy
number of 6 with variable expression per copy ranging from approximately
onefold to threefold that of an endogenous y globin gene. These results
establish that purified rAAV can be used to achieve integration and
functional expression of a globin gene in erythroid cells, but only when
high MOIs are used.
