title: Retroviral pseudotypes produced by rescue of a Moloney murine leukemia virus vector by C-type, but not D-type, retroviruses.
abstract: Human HOS cells containing a Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MLV) recombinant genome were infected by a panel of retroviruses. The C-type viruses simian sarcoma associated virus, feline leukemia virus subgroup B, and the feline endogenous virus RD114 were able to form pseudotypes with the Mo-MLV genome, which transferred a selectable marker gene to target cells; however, Human T cell leukemia virus-1 and the D-type viruses Mason-Pfizer monkey virus and simian retrovirus-1 failed to rescue the Mo-MLV vector. Further characterization of the RD114 pseudotype demonstrated that it retained the receptor specificity of RD114 and will therefore prove useful in receptor characterization.
