General description

The editor provides a compilation of chapters that depict the biological bases underlying the development of lentiviral vectors, describe in detail the various versions of this new gene delivery system, explain the techniques involved in its manufacture, address the all important question of biosafety, discuss thoroughly what currently appear as its most promising applications. Written by the very individual who pioneered the study of HIV-mediated gene transfer and the development of lentiviral vectors, this volume is an essential reading for researchers at all levels of training and interest in the basic applications of gene transfer methods as well as in the medical field of gene therapy.
