Abstract
Recent reviews by Clay Smith (1992) in this journal and by W. French Anderson (1990) and A.

This review will have a narrower focus. It will deal specifically with current and forthcoming clinical protocols for gene transfer into hemopoietic progenitor cells, because a major goal of gene therapy for malignant and nonmalignant disease is to transfer and express genes on a long-term basis in these cells or their progeny.
