Viral strategies for studying the brain, including a replication‐restricted self‐amplifying delta‐G vesicular stomatis virus that rapidly expresses transgenes in brain and can generate a multicolor golgi‐like expression

Abstract excerpt

Viruses have substantial value as vehicles for transporting transgenes into neurons. Each virus has its own set of attributes for addressing neuroscience-related questions. Here we review some of the advantages and limitations of herpes, pseudorabies, rabies, adeno-associated, lentivirus, and others to study the brain. We then explore a novel recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (dG-VSV) with the G-gene deleted...
