The study of hepatitis C virus (HCV), a major cause of chronic liver disease, has been
hampered by the lack of a cell culture system supporting its replication. Here, we have …

Viruses are the smallest life forms and parasitize on many eukaryotic organisms, including
humans. Consequently, the study of viruses and viral diseases has had an enormous impact …

Sequences encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) were inserted into the envelope
protein (Env) of ecotropic Moloney murine leukaemia virus, MoMLV. Insertion of these …

Fluorescent retroviral envelope (Env) proteins were developed for direct visualization of viral
particles. By fusing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) to the N terminus of the …

Baculovirus vectors show promise as a novel tool for gene delivery into mammalian cells
and gene transfer with wild-type baculovirus has been demonstrated both in vitro and in …

Efforts to achieve cell type-specific transduction of retroviral vectors for gene therapy have
centred on modification of the envelope protein (Env). Typically, addition of a ligand to Env …

Parvoviruses are among the smallest vertebrate DNA viruses known to date. The production
of parvovirus-like particles (parvo-VLPs) has been successfully exploited for parvovirus …
