Lentivirus-mediated gene transfer to the central nervous system: therapeutic and research applications.

abstract：:As an alternative to virus-mediated gene transfer, we previously demonstrated a simple, safe, and efficient transfer of foreign gene into the central nervous system using continuous injection of a plasmid DNA-cationic liposome complex. To explore whether this approach can be applied to the treatment of certain neurolo...

abstract：:Unlike oncoretroviruses, lentiviral vectors can insert large genes and can target both dividing and nondividing cells; thus they hold unique promise as gene transfer agents. To enhance target range, the native lentiviral envelope glycoprotein is replaced (pseudotyped) with vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSVG), and the ...
