    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of preventing or inhibiting viral infection of a cell and/or fusion between the envelope of a virus and the membranes of a cell targeted by the virus (thereby preventing delivery of the viral genome into the cell cytoplasm, a step required for. viral infection). The present invention particularly relates to the families of RNA viruses, including the arenaviruses, coronaviruses, filoviruses, orthomyxoviruses, paramyxoviruses, and retroviruses, having Class I membrane fusion proteins as the fusion proteins that mediate this fusion process. The present invention provides for a method of identifying a conserved motif or domain called the fusion initiation region (FIR) in these viruses. The present invention further provides for methods of preventing infection by such viruses, by interfering with their FIR. The present invention further provides for methods of treatment and prophylaxis of diseases induced by such viruses.

    摘要: The present invention relates in general to the pseudotyping of retroviruses with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. In particular, the invention relates to pseudotyping in MLV packaging cells which are optionally env-deleted, or in packaging cells derived from lentiviruses. Preferably, pseudotyping takes place by infection with LCMV or a preferably env-deleted mutant, or by transfection with an expression plasmid containing the gp gene of LCMV or a part thereof and optionally, in addition, the np, 1 and/or the z gene of LCMV. The invention also relates to the use of such pseudotypes for the infection of cells, particularly the use in gene therapy.
