Transduction of hematopoietic cells by foamy virus vectors.
Foamy viruses are retroviruses of the spumavirus family that are often isolated from primary cultures of primate cells. We previously constructed vectors based on human foamy virus (HFV) and found that they were able to transduce a wide variety of vertebrate cells by integration of the vector genome. Here we show that several types of hematopoietic cells are efficiently transduced by an HFV vec...
متن کاملProductive persistent infection of hematopoietic cells by human foamy virus.
Human foamy virus can establish persistent infections in human hematopoietic cell lines, such as H92.1.7 (erythroblastoid cells), Jurkat (CD4+ T cells), and U937 (myeloid-monocytic cells). The infection is characterized by constant production of infectious viruses (for > 2 1/2 years) with no cytopathic effects on the host cells. Electron microscopy of the infected cells showed a viral morpholog...
متن کاملNonintegrating foamy virus vectors.
Foamy viruses (FVs), or spumaviruses, are integrating retroviruses that have been developed as vectors. Here we generated nonintegrating foamy virus (NIFV) vectors by introducing point mutations into the highly conserved DD35E catalytic core motif of the foamy virus integrase sequence. NIFV vectors produced high-titer stocks, transduced dividing cells, and did not integrate. Cells infected with...
متن کاملTransduction of human NOD/SCID-repopulating cells with both lymphoid and myeloid potential by foamy virus vectors.
The efficiency of gene transfer into human hematopoietic stem cells by oncoretroviral vectors is too low for effective gene therapy of most hematologic diseases. Retroviral vectors based on the nonpathogenic foamy viruses (FV) are an alternative gene-transfer system. In this study, human umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells were transduced with FV vectors by a single 10-h exposure to vector stock...
متن کاملCell cycle requirements for transduction by foamy virus vectors compared to those of oncovirus and lentivirus vectors.
Retroviral vectors based on foamy viruses (FV) are efficient gene delivery vehicles for therapeutic and research applications. While previous studies have shown that FV vectors transduce quiescent cell cultures more efficiently than oncoviral vectors, their specific cell cycle requirements have not been determined. Here we compare the transduction frequencies of FV vectors with those of onco- a...
