Abstract
Disclosed is a method of expressing an exogenous gene in a mammalian cell, involving infecting the cell with a non-mammalian virus (e.g., a baculovirus) whose genome carries an exogenous gene, and growing the cell under conditions such that the gene is expressed. Also disclosed is a method of treating a gene deficiency disorder in a mammal by providing to a cell a therapeutically effective amount of a virus whose genome carries an exogenous gene and growing the cell under conditions such that the exogenous gene is expressed in the mammal.
