Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, March 11th, 2010
Investigators publish new data in the report 'Integrase-defective lentiviral vectors: progress and applications.' "Lentiviral vectors (LVs) offer the advantages of a large packaging capacity, broad cell tropism or specific cell-type targeting through pseudotyping, and long-term expression from integrated gene cassettes. However, transgene integration carries a risk of disrupting gene expression through insertional mutagenesis and may not be required for all applications," scientists in the United States report.
"A non-integrating LV may be beneficial in cases in which transient gene expression is desired. Several recent publications outline the development and initial...
