Improved Coinfection with Amphotropic Pseudotyped Retroviral Vectors
Amphotropic pseudotyped retroviral vectors have typically been used to infect target cells without prior concentration. Although this can yield high rates of infection, higher rates may be needed where highly efficient coinfection of two or more vectors is needed. In this investigation we used amphotropic retroviral vectors produced by the Plat-A cell line and studied coinfection rates using gr...
متن کاملCell-type-specific gene transfer into human cells with retroviral vectors that display single-chain antibodies.
The successful application of human gene therapy protocols on a broad clinical basis will depend on the availability of in vivo cell-type-specific gene delivery systems. We have developed retroviral vector particles, derived from spleen necrosis virus (SNV), that display the antigen binding site of an antibody on the viral surface. Using retroviral vectors derived from SNV that displayed single...
متن کاملApical gene transfer into quiescent human and canine polarized intestinal epithelial cells by lentivirus vectors.
Intestinal epithelial cells secrete a protective luminal mucus barrier inhibiting viral gene transfer. Quiescent, polarized monolayers of primary epithelial cells from dog gallbladder and human colon are efficiently transduced through the apical mucus side by lentivirus vectors, suggesting their application to intestinal gene therapy.
متن کاملFactors influencing adeno-associated virus-mediated gene transfer to human cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells: comparison with adenovirus vectors.
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors appear promising for use in gene therapy in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, yet many features of AAV-mediated gene transfer to airway epithelial cells are not well understood. We compared the transduction efficiencies of AAV vectors and adenovirus (Ad) vectors in immortalized cell lines from CF patients and in nasal epithelial primary cultures from normal hum...
متن کاملGene transfer into marrow repopulating cells: comparison between amphotropic and gibbon ape leukemia virus pseudotyped retroviral vectors in a competitive repopulation assay in baboons.
Many diseases might be treated by gene therapy targeted to the hematopoietic system, but low rates of gene transfer achieved in humans and large animals have limited the application of this technique. We have developed a competitive hematopoietic repopulation assay in baboons to evaluate methods for improving gene transfer and have used this method to compare gene transfer rates for retroviral ...
