“…In the field of the HIV research, LV have been extensively utilized for the delivery of anti-HIV genes that require stable expression for efficient HIV inhibition, such as CCR5 shRNA [28,79,99], LTR RNA [[28,32]], tat/rev shRNA, TRIM5α mutant, CCR5 ribozyme, TAR decoy [[22,79,86], C46 [[60]], or combinations of these genes. Anti-HIV genes transduced through HSPC have been stably expressed in vitro [[22,33,100]], in vivo animal models [[28,32,99]]. Although lentiviral vectors have been the first choice for anti-HIV HSPC gene delivery to CD34+ HSPC for a long term stable expression of anti-HIV genes.…”
