Expression artifact with retroviral vectors based on pBMN.
While characterizing various splice forms of p120 catenin, we observed what appeared to be a novel posttranslational modification of p120, resulting in a higher molecular weight form that was dependent on the splicing pattern. Further investigation revealed the higher molecular weight form to be a fusion protein between sequences encoded by the retroviral vector and p120. We found that the publ...
متن کاملEnhanced gene expression from retroviral vectors
BACKGROUND Retroviruses are widely used to transfer genes to mammalian cells efficiently and stably. However, genetic elements required for high-level gene expression are incompatible with standard systems. The retroviral RNA genome is produced by cellular transcription and post-transcriptional processing within packaging cells: Introns present in the retroviral genomic transcript are removed b...
متن کاملGene expression from transcriptionally disabled retroviral vectors.
Retroviral vectors are used for the efficient transfer of foreign genes into mammalian cells. We report here the construction of murine retrovirus-based vectors carrying the full-length cDNA for human hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT; EC 2.4.2.8) and from which the enhancer sequences, the "CAAT box," and the "TATA box" in the long terminal repeats (LTRs) have been deleted. After inf...
متن کاملRetroviral vectors pseudotyped with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
Pseudotyping can improve retroviral vector stability and transduction efficiency. Here, we describe a novel pseudotype of murine leukemia virus packaged with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). This pseudotype was stable during ultracentrifugation and infected several cell lines from different species. Moreover, LCMV glycoproteins were not cell toxic.
متن کاملImproved 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...
