A patient with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) lacks a functional gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA). The goal of gene therapy for this patient is to:

  • introduce a working ADA gene into their bone marrow stem cells
  • provide them with daily injections of the ADA enzyme for the rest of their life
  • create a vaccine against their own immune cells
  • use monoclonal antibodies to suppress their immune system
