Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sendai virus (SeV) is a new class of cytoplasmic RNA vector that is free from genotoxicity that infects and multiplies in most mammalian cells, and directs high-level transgene expression. We improved the vector by deleting all of the envelope-related genes from the SeV genome and thus reducing its immunogenicity. METHODS: The matrix (M), fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) genes-deleted...
