Retrovirus molecular conjugates: a versatile and efficient gene transfer vector system for primitive human hematopoietic progenitor cells

Abstract: In principle, transient nongenetic modification of a noninfectious gene transfer virus enabling a one time infection and transduction of human cells could eliminate the risk of formation of replication competent virus. Formation of a molecular conjugate vector by conjugation of noninfective ecotropic murine Moloney leukemia virus to polylysine (eMMLV-PL) enabled high-efficiency transduction of human HPC using in vitro and in vivo assays. Xenotransplanted NOD-SCID mice durably expressed the transgene in human l… Show more

“…For example, charged polymers, which act at an early, receptor‐independent step of infection, can alter the transduction efficiencies . Cationic polymers such as poly‐ l ‐lysine, polybrene or protamine enhance transduction rates by reducing the electrostatic repulsion between retroviral particles and cells.…”

“…However, the modification resulted in severely reduced infectivity of R/LV particles. Direct chemical biotinylation of retroviral vectors has also been demonstrated, using sulfo-N-hydroxysuccinimide-biotin on MoMLV derived vectors [11]. Neutravidin was covalently linked to polylysine.…”

“…Other approaches lead to the biotinylation of the lentiviral vector. This can be achieved by direct chemical modification [11] or after addition of a biotin-adaptor peptide (BAP), a site for specific enzymatic biotin ligation [22, 23]. The bacterial enzyme, biotin ligase, has to be provided as a form of metabolic engineering to allow the modification of the BAP-containing protein.…”
