Phase I: Absence of Replication Competent Retrovirus (RCR) in Blood Specimens: 3 Months Post-infusion [4] | ||||||
End point description |
The absence of replication competent retrovirus (RCR) in blood specimens: 3 months post-infusion will be monitored by DNA PCR for the Galv gene.
RCR search was conducted centrally using a quantitative molecular test, (real time quantitative PCR, q-PCR analysis) determining the absence of RCR by DNA PCR for the Galv and gag-pol genes on genomic DNA from patient’s peripheral blood lymphocytes. The objective of this q-PCR analysis is to exclude the presence of RCR originated by recombination with PG13 packaging cell sequences by detecting the Galv and gag-pol transcripts in the transduced cells. The absence of the Galv and gag-pol transcripts can exclude the presence of an RCR, while its presence is not sufficient to indicate the presence of an RCR, and in this case further analysis is required.
