Claims
- 1. A recombinant DNA construct comprising a replication-defective retroviral genome comprising a polynucleotide sequence of interest and a gibbon ape leukemia virus (GaLV) packaging site.
- 2. The construct of claim 1, wherein the packaging site consists of between about 150 base pairs and about 1500 base pairs.
- 3. The construct of claim 1, wherein the packaging site consists of a sequence extending from about position 570 to about position 1280 of SEQ ID NO:1.
- 4. The construct of claim 1, wherein the construct further comprises regulatory sequences which direct expression of the polynucleotide of interest.
- 5. The construct of claim 4, wherein the regulatory sequences are from a GaLV 3' LTR.
- 6. The construct of claim 5, wherein the regulatory sequences are from GaLV SF.
- 7. The construct of claim 1, wherein the construct comprises a sequence encoding the GaLV envelope (env) glycoprotein.
- 8. A cultured mammalian cell comprising the replication-defective viral genome of claim 1.
- 9. The cell of claim 8, further comprising retroviral gag and pol genes.
- 10. The cell of claim 9, wherein the gag and pol genes are from GaLV SF or GaLV SEATO.
- 11. The cell of claim 9, wherein the gag and pol genes are from MoMLV.
- 12. The cell of claim 8, further comprising a retroviral env gene.
- 13. The cell of claim 12, wherein the env gene is from GaLV SF or GaLV SEATO.
- 14. The cell of claim 8, which is PG13 or PA317.
- 15. An isolated hybrid retrovirus virion comprising,
- a GaLV envelope protein,
- an RNA genome comprising a polynucleotide sequence of interest operably linked to expression regulatory sequences, and,
- a GaLV packaging site.
- 16. The virion of claim 15, further comprising GaLV core proteins.
- 17. The virion of claim 15, further comprising MoMLV core proteins.
- 18. The virion of claim 15, wherein the envelope protein is a GaLV SF envelope protein.
- 19. The virion of claim 15, wherein the packaging site is transcribed from a sequence consisting of between about 150 base pairs and about 1500 base pairs.
- 20. The virion of claim 15, wherein the packaging site is transcribed from a polynucleotide sequence extending from about position 570 to about position 1280 of SEQ ID NO:1.
- 21. A method of introducing a polynucleotide sequence of interest into human cells having a GaLV receptor, comprising:
- contacting the cells, in vitro, with hybrid retrovirus virions comprising, a GaLV envelope protein, an RNA genome comprising the polynucleotide sequence of interest operably linked to expression regulatory sequences, and a GaLV packaging site,
- selecting cells having the polynucleotide of interest.
- 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the human calls are selected from the group consisting of bone marrow cells and tumor infiltrating cells.
