Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method of increasing vector transduction in target cells. The invention provides for the recombinant engineering of a packaging cell line to be capable of expressing one or more membrane proteins which facilitate binding to, and activation of, a target cell. The invention also provides for recombinant engineering of a cell that endogenously expresses one or more such membrane proteins into a packaging cell line. A vector packaged into viral particles via use of such cell lines would comprise an outer envelope containing these proteins. The particles would be specifically suited for binding and targeting to a target cell to facilitate transduction thereof with the vector. The target cell may also be simultaneously activated (stimulated) by the packaged vector in the absence of exogenously supplied stimulatory molecules.
