Lentiviral vectors as tools to understand central nervous system biology in mammalian model organisms

Lentiviruses have been extensively used as gene delivery vectors since the mid-1990’s. Usually derived from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) genome, they mediate efficient gene transfer to non-dividing cells, including neurons and glia in the adult mammalian brain. In addition, integration of...
