摘要:
A method for increasing the efficiency of gene transfer into target cells with a retrovirus is disclosed. In the method, the target cells are infected with the retrovirus in the presence of either a mixture of an effective amount of a functional material having retrovirus binding domain and an effective amount of another functional material having target cell binding domain, or an effective amount of a functional material having these binding domains on the same molecule. The functional materials may be used without immobilization or with immobilized on beads. The method is useful, for example, gene therapy.

5-Membered ring compounds represented by general formula (I), optically active isomers thereof or salts of the same. These compounds have physiological activities including a carcinostatic effect. In said formula the bond shown by the dotted line in the 5-membered ring represents that this 5-membered ring may be either a cyclopentene ring having a double bond or a saturated cyclopentane ring, and when the 5-membered ring is a cyclopentene ring, X is OR 1 , Y is =O and Z is H, and when it is a cyclopentane ring, X is =O, Y is OR 2 and Z is OR 3 , (wherein R 1 is R 4 or -(CO)-R 5 ; R 2 is H, -R 6 or -(CO)-R 7 ; and R 3 is H, R 8 or (CO)-R 9 (wherein R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 and R 9 are the same or different and each represents an aliphatic, aromatic or aliphatic aromatic group, and R 5 , R 7 and R 9 may be each H), provided that the case where R 2 =R 3 =H is excluded); and W represents a residue obtained by eliminating SH from an SH-containing compound.
