'The general utility of a novel, fluorescence-based procedure for assessing gene transfer and expression has been demonstrated using hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Lineage-depleted hematopoietic cells were isolated from the bone marrow or fetal livers of acid sphingomyelinase-deficient mice, and retrovirally transduced with amphotropic or ecotropic vectors encoding a normal ...
