Lentiviral transduction led to: i) restoration of ADA2 protein expression and enzymatic activity; (ii) amelioration of M1 macrophage cytokine production, IFN-γ and phosphorylated STAT1 expression in patient-derived macrophages; and (iii) amelioration of macrophage-mediated endothelial activation that drives the vasculitis of DADA2. Here, STAT1 is linked to vasculitis.
