Abstract
The invention concerns an improvement in the art of inserting and expressing foreign gene into eukaryotic cells. The invention particularly concerns methods and compositions whereby viral vectors can be used to insert and express foreign genes into specifically cells having particular differentiation antigens. A method of determining which differentiation antigens can be used is taught. The invention encompasses complexes of viral particles and adapters that cause the binding and internalization of the vector particles such that a gene of interest in the particle is expressed.
