Evaluation of gene delivery strategies to efficiently overexpress functional HLA-G on human bone marrow stromal cells

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) constitutively express low levels of human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G), which has been shown to contribute to their immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we hypothesized that overexpression of HLA-G on bone marrow-derived MSC would improve their imm...
