Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) are primary targets for gene therapy of inherited and acquired disorders of the immune system. We describe the development of an optimized transduction system that provides for high-efficiency retrovirus-mediated gene transfer into primary PBLs. This optimized transduction protocol combines centrifugation of the lymphocytes (1000 x g) at the inception of transduction with phosphate depletion, low-temperature incubation (32 degrees C), and the use of the packaging cell line PG13. Gene marking studies of human and primate PBLs using these optimized transduction conditions demonstrated that the transduction efficiency exceeded 50% of the total lymphocyte population. The optimized transduction efficiency of PBLs with amphotropic retroviral vectors was in excess of 25%. The transduction procedure does not alter phenotype, viability, or expansion of the transduced cells. Our data indicate that this optimized transduction system leads to high-efficiency gene transfer into primary human lymphocytes, which obviates the requirement for selection of transduced cells prior to gene-therapy procedures. Thus, large quantities of healthy retrovirally transduced lymphocytes containing a broad immunological repertoire can be generated for use in clinical protocols. Our results represent a significant improvement in the methodology for the transduction of lymphocytes for gene therapy.

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
