Lentivirus-mediated Bcl-2 expression in betaTC-tet cells improves resistance to hypoxia and cytokine-induced apoptosis while preserving in vitro and in vivo control of insulin secretion.

abstract：:Naturally occurring drug resistance genes of human origin can be exploited for selection of genetically engineered cells co-expressing a desired therapeutic transgene. Their non-immunogenicity in clinical applications would be a major asset. Human cytidine deaminase (hCD) is a chemoresistance gene that inactivates cyt...
