Abstract

The invention provides a system for production of retroviruses which are replication incompetent. In the system, gag and pol retroviral structural proteins are expressed separately by different plasmids in a packaging cell line. Separate gag and pol expressing plasmids are provided, as are packaging cell lines containing such plasmids. Retrovirus products of the retroviral vector production system, including chimeric retroviruses, are also provided.
