Lentiviral vectors (pLV-shRNA-EGFP or mCherry:T2A:Puro-U6) was purchased (VectorBuilder) and wild-type and mutant ADAR1E912A (pCDH-EF1-T2A-copGFP) were produced according to published protocol 25 (link). All lentivirus was titer by transduction of HEK293T cells and efficiency was assessed by p24 ELISA and RT-qPCR of the 5’ LTR region. Lentiviral transduction of primary T-ALL or cord blood samples was performed at a MOI of 100–200. The cells were cultured for 3–4 days in 96-well plate (2X105-5X105 cells per well) containing StemPro (Life Technologies) media supplemented with human IL-6, stem cell factor (SCF), Thrombopoietin (TPO) and FLT3 (all from R&D Systems). For T-ALL cell lines, the cells were transduced at a MOI of 20–50 in culture media.
