Pseudotransduction of hepatocytes by using concentrated pseudotyped vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein (VSV-G)-Moloney murine leukemia virus-derived retrovirus vectors: comparison of VSV-G and amphotropic vectors for hepatic gene transfer

Abstract excerpt

Recombinant retrovirus vectors are widely used for gene transfer studies. The recent development of a pseudotyped Moloney murine leukemia virus vector that contains the G envelope protein from the vesicular stomatitis virus allows for efficient concentration of vector and offers hope for potential use of these vectors for gene expression in vivo. A standard amphotropic vector expressing a serum marker protein,...
