Chimerism and gene therapy — Lessons learned from non‐conditioned murine bone marrow transplantation models

ConclusionBy extrapolating our murine data, and data from some previous studies to a human non‐conditioned autologous CD34+ HSPC transplantation setting, we conclude that approximately 44 million CD34+ HSPCs would be needed to achieve 20% donor chimerism in a 70‐kg human, which could serve as a starting point for the future use of HSCPs in gene and cell therapy.
