title: Lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with envelope glycoproteins derived from human parainfluenza virus type 3.
abstract: We describe the generation of lentiviruses pseudotyped with human parainfluenza type 3 envelope (HPIV3) glycoproteins. Lentivirus particles, expressed in 293T/17 cells, incorporate HPIV3 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) proteins into their lipid bilayers and are able to transduce human kidney epithelial cells and polarized MDCK cells. Neuraminidase, AZT, and anti-HPIV3 antisera block transduction, which is consistent with lentiviral-mediated transduction via sialated receptors for HPIV3. Our findings show that HPIV3 pseudotyped lentiviruses can be formed and may have a number of useful properties for human gene transfer.
