PCT No. PCT/NL96/00472 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 29, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 29, 1998 PCT Filed Nov. 29, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/20943 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 12, 1997The invention is in the field of recombinant genetic materials, especially for use in gene therapy. Vectors used for transferring additional genetic information to cells in the field of gene therapy are often based on viruses. A group of viruses which has been proposed to use for transfection is the group of parvoviruses, in particular the use of adeno associated virus has been proposed. The invention provides improved methods and means for gene therapy and for preparing products to be used in gene therapy using parvovirus based materials. The invention particularly provides regulated expression of genes under control of the combination of a repressor moiety and an activator moiety, particularly for expression of products which are toxic to the host cell in which they are expressed. In this way it is possible to achieve stable transfection for expression of parvovirus toxic proteins so that amongst others a packaging cell line for producing recombinant parvovirus, in particular adeno associated virus is provided as well as virus produced therewith. |
