Journal ArticleDOI

A Third-Generation Lentivirus Vector with a Conditional Packaging System

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the requirement for the tat gene can be offset by placing constitutive promoters upstream of the vector transcript, and the improved design presented here should facilitate testing of lentivirus vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiply attenuated lentiviral vector achieves efficient gene delivery in vivo.

TL;DR: An HIV vector system in which the virulence genes env, vif, vpr, vpu, and nef have been deleted is described, and this multiply attenuated vector conserved the ability to transduce growth-arrested cells and monocyte-derived macrophages in culture, and could efficiently deliver genes in vivo into adult neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Inactivating Lentivirus Vector for Safe and Efficient In Vivo Gene Delivery

TL;DR: The inactivation design achieved in this work improves significantly the biosafety of HIV-derived vectors, as it reduces the likelihood that replication-competent retroviruses will originate in the vector producer and target cells, and hampers recombination with wild-type HIV in an infected host.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleus basalis and thalamic control of neocortical activity in the freely moving rat

TL;DR: It is suggested that the NB system may serve as a structural basis for the concept of the generalized ascending activation of Moruzzi and Magoun (1949) by directly activating the neocortex and by suppressing the rhythm generation in the RT-thalamocortical circuitry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant AAV viral vectors pseudotyped with viral capsids from serotypes 1, 2, and 5 display differential efficiency and cell tropism after delivery to different regions of the central nervous system.

TL;DR: The tropism and transduction frequency in the central nervous system of three different rAAV vector serotypes are investigated, suggesting that vectors based on distinct AAV serotypes can be chosen for specific applications in the nervous system.
