Lentiviral vectors (LVs) have provided an efficient way to integrate our gene of interest into eukaryote cells. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-derived LVs have been vastly studied to become an invaluable asset in gene delivery. This abled LVs to be used in both research laboratories and gene the...

The combination of lentiviruses with techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 has resulted in efficient and precise processes for targeted genome modification. An often-limiting aspect, however, is the efficiency of cell transduction. Low efficiencies with particular cell types and/or the high complexity of l...

The lentivirus system enables efficient genetic modification of both dividing and non-dividing cells and therefore is a useful tool for elucidating developmental processes and disease pathogenesis. The development of third-generation lentiviruses has resulted in improved biosafety, low immunogenicit...
