Abstract

The proteasome system restricts lentiviral transduction of stem cells. We exploited proteasome inhibition as a strategy to enhance transduction of both hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and T lymphocytes with low dose or large-size lentiviral vectors (LV). HSC showed higher transduction efficiency if transiently exposed to proteasome inhibitor MG132 (41.8% vs 10.7%, p
