ABSTRACT:
A method and vector system for delivering of a gene into a human stem cell for therapeutic uses is disclosed. The method includes linking a therapeutic gene to human sperm cells through a linker and fertilizing a human oocyte. The resulting zygote may then be cultured and established as human embryonic stem cells, which may later be differentiated into different types of cells for transplantation into the human body.
