Passages: 14;
From a set of packaging cell lines useful for generating helper-free recombinant retroviruses with amphotropic host ranges. Two mutant Moloney murine leukaemia virus-derived proviral genomes carrying complementary mutations in the gag-pol or env regions were sequentially introduced into NIH 3T3 cells by co-transformation. Each genome contained a deletion of the Psi sequence necessary for the efficient encapsulation of retroviral genomes into virus particles and additional alterations at the 3'end of the provirus. Psi-CRIP can be used to isolate clones that stably produce high titres (1000,000cfu/ml) of recombinant retroviruses with amphotropic host ranges. Viral producers derived from Psi-CRIP do not transfer the packaging function or yield helper virus.
