An enhanced packaging system for helper-dependent herpes simplex virus vectors.
Helper-dependent herpes simplex virus (HSV) vectors (amplicons) show considerable promise to provide for long-term transduced-gene expression in most cell types. The current packaging system of choice for these vectors involves cotransfection with a set of five overlapping cosmids that encode the full HSV type 1 (HSV-1) helper virus genome from which the packaging (pac) elements have been delet...
متن کاملRetargeting of herpes simplex virus (HSV) vectors.
Gene therapy applications depend on vector delivery and gene expression in the appropriate target cell. Vector infection relies on the distribution of natural virus receptors that may either not be present on the desired target cell or distributed in a manner to give off-target gene expression. Some viruses display a very limited host range, while others, including herpes simplex virus (HSV), c...
متن کاملGene therapy with herpes simplex virus vectors.
Gene delivery to the nervous system represents perhaps the ultimate challenge of gene therapy in view of the complexity of this system, the wide variety of intractable neurological diseases and the need to deliver the gene to non-dividing cells. Although a variety of systems for such gene delivery are under development, herpes simplex virus has unique advantages in terms of its large genome siz...
متن کاملHerpes Simplex Virus Type 1/Adeno-Associated Virus Hybrid Vectors
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-based amplicon vectors have a large transgene capacity and can efficiently infect many different cell types. One disadvantage of HSV-1 vectors is their instability of transgene expression. By contrast, vectors based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) can either persist in an episomal form or integrate into the host cell genome, thereby supporting long-term gene ...
متن کاملExpression, Purification, and Antiserum Production of the Truncated UL31 Protein of Herpes Simplex Virus 1
Background: The UL31 protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) plays an important role in the HSV-1 replication, however, its pinpoint functions in the life cycle of the virus have yet to be adequately elucidated. Objectives: An antiserum specific for detecting HSV-1 UL31 was prepared as the foundation for future research on the role of UL31 in the course...
