Envelope proteins used for pseudotyping lentiviral vectors (LVs).

Envelope	Hosts	CNS Tropism
VSV-G	Mouse, rat, pig, dog, human	Non-selective
Mokola virus	Mouse, rat	Non-selective
Rabies virus	Mouse, rat	Prefers neurons; efficient axonal transport
LCMV	Mouse, rat	Prefers astrocytes; some expression in neurons
RRV	Mouse, rat, human cells (in vitro)	Non-selective

VSV-G, vesicular stomatitis virus G-protein; LCMV, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus; RRV, Ross River Virus. Adapted from Kantor et al. (2014a).
