| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a retroviral gene delivery system that resists complement inactivation through the incorporation of a complement regulatory protein into retroviral particles. In particular, the present invention provides a lentiviral packaging system comprising at least two vectors: a first vector which comprises a nucleotide sequence comprising a gag, a pol, or gag and pol genes; and a second vector which comprises a nucleotide sequence comprising a gene that encodes a complement regulatory protein (CRP) and, optionally, a gene that encodes a heterologous or functionally modified envelope protein. The genes encoding a heterologous or functionally modified envelope protein and a CRP are provided either together in a second nucleotide sequence, or separately in second and third nucleotide sequences. Producer cells comprising the packaging constructs of the present invention and a transgene can be used to produce recombinant retroviral particles for transgene delivery. |
