  • Publication number: 20060269522
    Abstract: A retroviral vector that eliminates cis-acting retroviral elements, which are not useful to and may cause problems for, an integrated provirus utilizes a recombination system, such as the bacteriophage P1 cre-lox recombination system. A gene of interest and a loxP site are inserted into a long terminal repeat, which is then duplicated. The enzyme cre is inserted between the long terminal repeats and combines them. The structure of the resulting provirus in the host genome is that of a single, long terminal repeat carrying a single copy of the gene of interest. Following infection, the retrovirus produces proviral structures having only a single long terminal repeat.

  • Patent number: 7098031
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for in vivo generation of a linear polynucleotide with 5? and 3? free ends from a vector having no free end, said linear polynucleotide being integrated into the host cell genome. The vector having no free end according to the present invention comprise the polynucleotide to be linearized or excised flanked by a cleavage site, said cleavage site being preferably not found in the host cell genome. The present invention also relates to the resulting cells and their uses, for example for production of proteins or other genes, biomolecules, biomaterials, transgenic plants, vaccines, transgenic animals or for treatment or prophylaxis of a condition or disorder in an individual.
