<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a useful and safe viral vector. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided a multicistronic retroviral vector genome comprising a first nucleotide sequence upstream of an internal regulatory element, such that the level of genomic RNA available for packaging in the absence of rev, or a functional equivalent thereof, is increased. There is also provided a vector genome comprising a nucleotide sequence which is operably linked to a viral LTR and is upstream of an internal regulatory element. The nucleotide sequence is upstream of an internal promoter or IRES, and enhances the level of genomic RNA available for packaging in the absence of rev. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
