Systematic Determination of the Packaging Limit of Lentiviral Vectors
Abstract
Because of their ability to transduce nondividing cells, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV)-based vectors have great potential for the therapeutic delivery of genes to cells. We describe here a systematic study of the packaging limit of HIV-based vectors. Restriction endonuclease-generated bacterial chromosomal DNA fragments of different lengths were cloned at three different positions within a lentiviral vector. Vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV G) pseudotyped lentiviral particles were prepared and the different clones were titered on mammalian cells. We observed that the restriction endonuclease site positions at the 5' and 3' ends of the genome were superior with regard to insertional capacity of foreign DNA. In all cases, viral titers decreased semi-logarithmically with increasing vector length. There appears to be no absolute packaging limit because measurable titers were obtained even when the proviral length was in excess of 18 kb. The reduction in titer appears to occur at the level of viral encapsidation, although we cannot exclude limitations in nuclear export of proviral RNA. These results suggest that HIV-based vectors may have a secondary advantage over oncoretroviral vectors because of their greater packaging limit, although the very low titers of the larger vectors will be of limited utility.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
