Methods: Human cytidine deaminase gene was transfected into mice bone marrow cells by retroviral vector. Resistant colony-forming unit granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) assay was performed after the transfected mice bone marrow cells treated by the Ara-C. DNA was extracted from mice bone marrow cells. The drug resistant gene in mice bone marrow cells after transfection was detected by PCR. Results: Bone marrow cells of the donor mice cultured with the retroviral producer cells showed the drug resistant colonies and resistance to Ara-C, so did accept mice transplanted with the CD gene (CFU-GM of donor mice was 52%, χ^2 = 124.62, P 〈 0.01; accept mice was 54%, χ^2 = 126.26, P 〈 0.01, both compared with the contrast group). The animal survival rate was significantly higher in gene transfected group than that of the control (χ^2= 7.42, P 〈 0.01). CD gene of transfected bone marrow cells was confirmed by PCR. Conclusion: CD gene can be transfected into bone marrow cells of mice efficiently and increase the drug resistance to Ara-C.展开更多
