Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are clonogenic cells capable of both selfrenewal and multilineage differentiation. An efficient method for gene transfer into HSCs is required for exploring HSC biology as well as for gene therapy of hematopoietic disorders. Retroviral vectors have been the most widely used vectors for gene transfer to HSCs. However, retroviral vectors require cell division for i...

in this study, in order to facilitate and accelerate the production of eukaryotic protein alpha 1-antitrypsin (aat) with correct post-translational modifications, a protein production system based on the transduction of cho and cos-7 cells using lentiviral vectors was developed. human aat cdna was cloned into a replication-defective lentiviral vector. the transgene aat-jred chimer was transferr...

BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the major cause of viral encephalitis in Southeast Asia. Vaccination of domestic pigs has been suggested as a "one health" strategy to reduce viral disease transmission to humans. The efficiency of two lentiviral TRIP/JEV vectors expressing the JEV envelope prM and E glycoproteins at eliciting protective humoral response was assessed in a mouse mo...

Generating lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with different viral glycoproteins (GPs) may modulate the physicochemical properties of the vectors, their interaction with the host immune system, and their host range. We have investigated the capacity of a panel of GPs of both retroviral (amphotropic murine leukemia virus [MLV-A]; gibbon ape leukemia virus [GALV]; RD114, feline endogenous virus) and ...
