[In order to extend the application of platelet-directed gene therapy, we examined whether ectopic expression of activated factor VII (FVIIa) in platelets would result in an efficient bypass therapy to induce sufficient thrombin generation on platelet surfaces in mice with hemophilia A. Transduction of bone marrow cells with a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-based lentiviral vector harboring the platelet-specific GPIb alpha promoter resulted in efficient transgene expression in platelets.].
