RESUMO
Spleen necrosis virus (SNV) and Reticuloendotheliosis virus strain A (REV-A) belong to the family of reticuloendotheliosis viruses and are 90% sequence related. SNV-derived retroviral vectors produced by the REV-A-based D17.2G packaging cell line were shown to infect human cells (H.-M. Koo, A. M. C. Brown, Y. Ron, and J. P. Dougherty, J. Virol. 65:4769–4776, 1991), while similar vectors produced by another SNV-based packaging cell line, DSH134G, are not infectious in human cells (reviewed by R. Dornburg, Gene Ther. 2:301–310, 1995). Here we describe a careful reevaluation of the infectivity of vectors produced from the most commonly used REV-A- or SNV-based packaging cells obtained from various sources with, among them, one batch of D17.2G packaging cells obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. None of these packaging cells produced vectors able to infect human cells. Thus, contrary to previously published data, we conclude that REV-based vectors are not infectious in human cells.
