Title:
PSEUDO-TYPE RETROVIRUS VECTOR CONTAINING MEMBRANE PROTEIN HAVING HEMAGGLUTININ ACTIVITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/092508
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A retrovirus vector containing a membrane protein having a hemagglutinin activity. By using the membrane protein having a hemagglutinin activity, the retrovirus vector of the pseudo-type is constructed. This virus vector shows a high gene transfer efficiency into host cells. It is clarified that genes can be transferred thereby at a high efficiency into cells into which genes can be hardly transferred by the conventional techniques, for example, blood cells and hematopoietic cells involving hematopoietic stem cells and mucous cells involving mucosa epithelial cells. This virus vector is highly useful as a vector for gene therapy.
