title: [Retroviral vectors in gene therapy].
abstract: This review describes the systems of retroviral transfer and expression of the genes that are widely applied in basic biological research and in gene therapy. Unique features of retroviruses providing a background for construction of retroviral vectors and the methods to use these vectors are discussed.
