Abstract:
:The effect of a cryptic splice acceptor (cSA) site located at the end of the extended packaging signal in murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based vectors was investigated. Although this cSA is also present in wild type MLV, it was found to result in a smaller transcript in which the packaging signal (Psi) had been removed by splicing only in MLV-derived vectors. Splicing occurs both in packaging cells producing the MLV-vectors as well as in the infected target cells. Transcripts lacking the Psi-sequence (Psi(-)) are packaged relatively efficiently into virus particles, even in the presence of wild type Psi(+)-vector transcripts. The Psi(-)-viral RNA is reverse transcribed in vector transduced cells as is any other retroviral genome. The titer obtained from the Psi(-)-vector was only 1000-fold reduced in comparison to the same Psi(+)-vector. These results suggest that Psi(-)-transcripts may be packaged more frequently than previously supposed and that splicing patterns should be carefully analysed on an individual basis for retroviral vectors used in gene therapy.
