  1. Abstract:

    Although transduction with amphotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV) vectors has been optimized successfully for hematopoietic differentiated progenitors, gene transfer to early hematopoietic cells (stem cells) is still highly restricted. A similar restriction to gene transfer,vas observed in the mouse stern cell line FDC-Pmix compared with transfer in the more mature myeloid precursor cell line FDC-P1 and the human erythroleukemia cell line K562, Gene transfer was not improved when the vector was pseudotyped with gp70(SU) of the 10A1 strain of MLV, which uses the receptor of the gibbon ape leukemia, virus (Pit1), in addition to the amphotropic receptor (Pit2). Although 10A1 and amphotropic gp70(SU) bound to FDC-P1, K562, and fibroblasts, no binding to FDC-Pmix cells was detected. This indicates that FDC-Pmix cells lack functional Pit2 and Pit1 receptors, Pseudotyping with the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein improved transduction efficiency in FDC-Pmix stem cells by 2 orders of magnitude, to fibroblast levels, confirming a block to retroviral infection at the receptor level.
