HIV-1 sequences in lentiviral vector genomes can be substantially reduced without compromising transduction efficiency

Abstract Many lentiviral vectors used for gene therapy are derived from HIV-1. An optimal vector genome would include only the viral sequences required for transduction efficiency and gene expression to minimize the amount of foreign sequence inserted into a patient’s genome. However, it remains unc...
