Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and compositions are provided for delivery of a polynucleotide encoding a gene of interest, typically an antigen, to a dendritic cell (DC). The virus envelope comprises a DC-SIGN specific targeting molecule. The methods and related compositions can be used to treat patients suffering from a wide range of conditions, including infection, such as HIV/AIDS, and various types of cancers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated packaging cell comprising: (a) a replication defective lentiviral vector comprising an exogenous polynucleotide of interest; (b) a vector encoding a modified alphavirus E2 glycoprotein that specifically binds DC-SIGN; and (c) at least one plasmid encoding proteins required for lentiviral particle packaging, wherein the packaging cell is capable of producing a replication defective lentivirus pseudotyped with a virus envelope comprising the modified alphavirus E2 glycoprotein, and wherein the pseudotyped replication deficient lentivirus has increased efficiency in transducing dendritic cells expressing DC-SIGN relative to cell types not expressing DC-SIGN. 2. The packaging cell of claim 1 , wherein the packaging cell is a 293 or 293T cell. 3. The packaging cell of claim 1 , wherein the replication defective lentiviral vector comprises a self-inactivating 3′ LTR. 4. The packaging cell of claim 1 , wherein the E2 alphavirus glycoprotein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11. 5. The packaging cell of claim 1 , wherein the polynucleotide of interest encodes an antigen selected from the group consisting of a viral antigen, an HIV antigen, an HSV antigen, and a tumor antigen. 6. The packaging cell of claim 5 , wherein the antigen comprises a gag protein. 7. A culture comprising a plurality of packaging cells of claim 1 . 8. A culture comprising a plurality of packaging cells of claim 5 .
