No apparent nucleotide sequence specificity in cellular DNA juxtaposed to retrovirus proviruses.
The sequences of the virus-cell junctions of seven DNA clones of spleen necrosis virus provirus were analyzed to determine the nucleotide sequence specificity of the cellular integration sites. As previously reported for one provirus, all clones contain a 5-base-pair direct repeat of cellular DNA at the cell-virus junctions and a 3-base-pair inverted repeat at both ends of the provirus DNA. The...
متن کاملRetrovirus vectors bearing jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus Env transduce human cells by using a new receptor localized to chromosome 3p21.3.
Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) is a type D retrovirus associated with a contagious lung tumor of sheep, ovine pulmonary carcinoma. Other than sheep, JSRV is known to infect goats, but there is no evidence of human infection. Until now it has not been possible to study the host range for JSRV because of the inability to grow this virus in culture. Here we show that the JSRV envelope protein ...
متن کاملConstruction and characterization of pentacistronic retrovirus vectors.
The picornavirus foot-and-mouth disease virus 2A sequence was combined with three different internal ribosome entry segments to construct and characterize three independent pentacistronic retroviruses of different sizes. Efficient co-expression of the five proteins was successful and titres obtained for these pentacistronic virus vectors (final genome size approximately 7.9 kb) were comparable ...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of human endogenous retrovirus genome related to the mouse mammary tumor virus genome.
We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the human endogenous retrovirus genome HERV-K10 isolated as the sequence homologous to the Syrian hamster intracisternal A-particle (type A retrovirus) genome. HERV-K10 is 9,179 base pairs long with long terminal repeats of 968 base pairs at both ends; a sequence 290 base pairs long, however, was found to be deleted. It was concluded that a comp...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency gene transfer and expression in normal human hematopoietic cells with retrovirus vectors.
Retroviral vectors containing the selectable bacterial gene for G418 resistance (neo) were used to demonstrate gene transfer into primary human bone-marrow progenitor cells. To obtain populations of cells in which a high proportion of cells were expressing the neo gene, several important modifications were made to earlier procedures. Cells from normal donors were infected in vitro, were exposed...
