Abstract
We prepared retrovirus packaging cell lines containing gag-pol genes from spleen necrosis virus (expressed from a cytomegalovirus promoter and the simian virus 40 (SV40) polyadenylation sequences) and, on a separate vector, either the env gene from spleen necrosis virus (expressed from the Rous sarcoma virus promoter and the SV40 polyadenylation sequences) or the env gene from amphotropic murine leukemia virus (expressed from a cytomegalovirus promoter and the SV40 polyadenylation sequences). The nucleotide sequences in these packaging cell lines have almost no homology to the retrovirus vectors we used. Retrovirus vectors were produced from these new helper cell lines without any genetic interactions between the vectors and sequences in the helper cells and without transfer of the packaging sequences.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
