TABLE 1.
The host range of an ENTV vector is restricted compared to that of a JSRV vectora
Species | Target cells | ENTV vector titer | JSRV vector titer |
---|---|---|---|
Sheep | SSF | 5 × 103 | 6 × 105 |
Human | HT-1080 | <10b | 3 × 104 |
IB3 | <2 | 4 × 104 | |
293 | 5 × 102 | 4 × 104 | |
HeLa | <2 | 10 | |
Monkey | Vero | <2 | 1 × 105 |
Dog | D17 | <2 | 1 × 104 |
Bovine | MDBK | <2 | 2 × 103 |
Rabbit | RbTE | <2 | 2 × 103 |
Cat | G355 | <2 | 20 |
Rat | 208F | <2 | <2 |
Hamster | A23 | <2 | <2 |
Mouse | NIH 3T3 | <10b | <10b |
Target cells were exposed to the LAPSN vector with an ENTV pseudotype (produced from PN172/LAPSN cells) or with a JSRV pseudotype (produced from PJ4/LAPSN cells). Vector titers are expressed in AP+ FFU per except for HeLa cells, for which titers are expressed in G418-resistant CFU per ml due to the high level of endogenous heat-stable AP in HeLa cells, which precludes detection of vector-encoded AP. Results are means of at least two experiments.
Low-level transduction was detected in some assays.
