Abstract
Lentiviral vectors modified at the 5' LTR or both the 5' and 3' LTR's are useful in the production of recombinant lentivirus vectors. Such vectors can be produced in the absence of a functional tat gene. Multiple transformation of the host cell with the vector carrying the transgene enhances virus production.
