Lentiviral tracking of vascular differentiation in bone marrow progenitor cells

Lentiviral vectors encoding for identifiable marker genes controlled by lineage-specific promoters can be used to track differentiation of bone marrow progenitors into endothelial cells and/or smooth muscle cells. Human VE-Cadherin and Smoothelin-B promoters were cloned into a self-inactivating lent...
