Abstract
A retroviral vector which includes a nucleic acid sequence encoding a retroviral envelope. The nucleic acid sequence encoding a retroviral envelope includes a first nucleic acid sequence encoding a first envelope portion which is a portion of MCF viral gp 70 protein, a nucleic acid sequence which encodes xenotropic envelope, a nucleic acid sequence which encodes an amphotropic envelope portion, and a nucleic acid sequence which encodes p15E protein. Such retroviral envelopes encoded by such nucleic acid sequence may be included in infectious viral particles. The infectious viral particles also may include gene(s) encoding therapeutic agents, and thus may be used in gene therapy.
