Trastuzumab heavy and light chains were reformatted into a bicistronic expression cassette and cloned into adenoviral and
lentiviral vectors for transient and stable expression, respectively.
Researchers have also developed integrase - deficient
lentiviral vectors for applications that require the large genetic capacity of a lentiviral vector but for which transient transgene expression is sufficient.
The study also examines the use of
lentiviral vectors for cell delivery in treating liver diseases, a tool traditionally used in treating blood disorders.

But what's more, the transplanted cells keep producing a foreign protein slipped inside with the help of a
lentiviral vector, the kind usually used
for gene therapy.
Clinical benefits of
lentiviral vectors have been observed in small trials
for other diseases, including the common hematopoietic disorders
Although adeno - associated viral
vectors can also target non-dividing cells,
lentiviral vectors can carry much more genetic cargo (8 kb vs 4.5 kb), and they remain popular
for targeting and tracing cells in the brain (Figure 1).
Since
lentiviral vectors can deliver a large amount of DNA (~ 8 kb) with a relatively low immune response, it should come as no surprise that researchers are interested in developing these
vectors for gene therapy.
Verma has successfully developed
lentiviral vector - mediated mouse models
for glioblastoma, lung adenocarcinoma and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Genes associated with melanoma are overexpressed or silenced with shRNA constructs in
lentiviral vectors and the lab increasingly uses cDNA and sh (short hairpin) RNA libraries
for our experiments.
Because of the limitations of conventional laboratory - based culture methods and an increasing demand
for lentiviral vectors, newer, larger - scale production methods are increasingly used.

for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency uses a
lentiviral vector to insert a healthy copy of the IL2RG gene into blood cells.
Adenoviral
vectors can be produced by human embryonic kidney (HEK293) and human embryonic retinal (PER.C6) cell lines (31), both of which also can be used
for lentiviral vector production.
