  • Cocal-pseudotyped lentiviral vectors can be produced at titers as high as with VSV-G, have a broad tropism, and are stable, allowing for efficient concentration by centrifugation.

  • They are almost always pseudotyped with the envelope glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) due to the high titers that can be achieved, their stability, and broad tropism.

  • VSV-G pseudotyped retroviruses were prepared according to standard techniques.

    PLoS Biology: New Articles Marcel A. T. M. van Vugt et al. 2010

  • We generated a novel cocal vesiculovirus envelope glycoprotein plasmid and compared the properties of lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with cocal, VSV-G, and a modified feline endogenous retrovirus envelope glycoprotein (RD114/TR).

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles 2009

  • The lentiviral system, pseudotyped with the VSV-G envelope protein, is an attractive system for viral packaging and delivery of shRNA constructs due to its broad tropism and nonreceptor-mediated delivery, its ability to integrate into the genome for stable gene silencing, and the fact that it does not require a mitotic event for integration into the genome.

  • When appropriately pseudotyped, these viral particles can transduce a broader spectrum of cell lines and overcome issues faced in standard transfection methods.

    GEN News Highlights 2009

  • Instead of focusing exclusively on how the virus enters the cell, like other pseudotyped screening assays, explains Dr. Porotto, the researchers were able to consider how Hendra matures, buds, and exits the cell, and to screen for compounds that interfere with its development at various stages.
