Implantation of Lentiviral vector-transduced human bone marrow mesenchymal cells using collagen scaffolds into immunode fi cient mice resulted in ef fi cient engraftment of gene-engineered cells and provided sites for transgene-expression in vivo. Moreover, it did not alter the differentiation potential of either HSCs or MSCs. In addition, the therapeutic potential of CD133+ and MSC progenitor cells transduced ex vivo with Lentiviral vector encoding the mature form of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D ) or the enhanced green fl uorescent protein (eGFP) marker gene achieved permanent gene expression. ./cache/cord-016313-n4ewq0pt.txt ./txt/cord-016313-n4ewq0pt.txt
