Rapid regeneration of virus from cells infected with a retroviral vector.

Abstract:

:Recombinant retroviral vectors usually encode the genes of interest in place of the viral structural genes, which must be provided in trans. These viruses are therefore defective for replication: infected cells cannot produce progeny virus. However, in some cases it may be desirable to generate virus from an infected cell clone displaying a phenotype of interest. We describe a rapid method for producing virus, which involves fusing the infected cells to fresh packaging cells. Stable producer lines are generated after fusion by co-selecting for the Ecogpt+ marker in the packaging cells and the G418 resistance (neor) marker in the infected cells. We have used this method to develop cell lines that produce retroviruses encoding a Leu 61-activated c-Ha-ras oncogene as well as a neor gene. The viruses confer oncogenic transformation on 95%-100% of infected target cells as assayed by altered morphology, focus formation and soft agar growth.
