Abstract: Retroviral which are resistant to inactivation by human serum. The retroviral vectors are produced in a cell line which is resistant to lysis by human serum, such cell lines including the HOS, Mv-1-Lu, HT1080, TE671, and human 293 cell lines, as well as cell lines derived therefrom. Such retroviral vectors are especially useful as in vivo gene delivery vehicles.
