Abstract excerpt
Although DNA methylation and transcriptional repression are generally associated, a causal role for DNA methylation in silencing of retroviral vectors has not been established. The newer generation murine stem cell virus retroviral vector (MSCV) lacks many of the repressive cis-acting DNA sequences identified in Moloney murine leukemia virus but remains sensitive to transcriptional silencing in various cell...
