Tissue-Specific Targeting of Retroviral Vectors Through Ligand-Receptor Interactions
25 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
The development of retroviral vectors that target specific cell types could have important implications for the design of gene therapy strategies. A chimeric protein containing the polypeptide hormone erythropoietin and part of the env protein of ecotropic Moloney murine leukemia virus was engineered into the virus. This murine virus became several times more infectious for murine cells bearing the erythropoietin...
