| ABSTRACT |
Efficient transfer and sustained expression of transgenes are among the most important issues in gene delivery technologies. The majority of hematopoietic cells, including hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and terminally differentiated cells, such as primary T cells and macro phages, are nondividing or slowly self-renewing. These cell types are refractory to most nonviral or retroviral delivery methods. Lentiviral vectors are capable of transducing nondividing cells and maintaining long-term and sustained expression of the transgenes. Many hematopoietic cell types have been successfully transduced with lentiviral vectors carrying a variety of genes. Lentiviral vectors are becoming useful for many delivery protocols, such as long-term expression of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and functional genetics. They may also have great potential in gene therapy.
This protocol describes lentivirus-vector-based delivery of foreign genes to hematopoietic cells. The method is applicable to various cell types in experiments that require long-term transgene expression. |
