The CMV-Gag-Pol murine leukemia virus (MLV) packaging construct, encoding the MLV gag and pol genes, and the MLV-GFP plasmid, encoding an MLV-based transfer vector containing a CMV-GFP internal transcriptional unit, were described previously (see Fig. 1 B; reference 11 (link)). The pCMVΔ8.2 (13 (link)) HIV-1 Gag-Pol packaging construct contains all HIV-1 genes except env, which encodes the envelope glycoproteins, and nef. The HPPT-EF1α-GFP (14 (link)) HIV-1–based transfer vector contains the EF1α internal promoter driving the eGFP marker gene. The gene encoding GFP in this latter vector was replaced by the nlslacZ gene, encoding a nuclear-targeted β-galactosidase, to obtain the HPPT-EF1α-nlslacZ HIV-1–based vector. The phCMV-G (11 (link)) and phCMV-RD (15 (link)) expression vectors encode the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein and the feline endogenous virus RD114 glycoproteins, respectively.
