HSV1 vectors to study protein targeting in neurones: are glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchors polarized targeting signals in neurones?

abstract：:We report the discovery, on routine screening, of a replication-competent retrovirus (RCR) produced from a third generation amphotropic packaging cell line, GP + envAM12. In this line, the gag-pol and env helper genes are located on separate plasmids to minimise the chances of recombination events that may lead to RCR...
