title: [Advances of lentiviral vectors].
abstract: Lentiviral vectors are currently very effective tools in molecular and cell experiment. Lentiviral vector, a kind of retroviral vectors, has a number of unique advantages in target gene transferation, for example, the ability of transfection to the dividing or nondividing cells, its high efficiency of transfection and a capacity of large target gene fragments. This paper describes the sources of lentiviral vectors, molecular characteristics, research progress, etc.
