An early replacement SV40 vector, SV40-Mu beta, was constructed by replacing part of the early genes of the virus with mouse interferon-beta (IFN-beta) cDNA. Upon transfection of COS-7 cells with this DNA, transducing viral particles were produced, which could infect various cells and cause efficient production of mouse IFN-beta. The viral stock contained no detectable wild-type SV40. The IFN production after the virus infection was very high in monkey kidney cells, but less so in human epithelial cells, and low in mouse, pig, hamster cells and in human lymphocytes. The efficiency of introduction of the DNA to monkey kidney cells was compared with that by the calcium phosphate precipitation method, and the viral vector was found to be more efficient by a factor of several tens to hundreds.
一种早期替代的SV40载体,即SV40-Muβ,是通过用小鼠干扰素-β(IFN-β)cDNA替换病毒的部分早期基因构建而成的。用这种DNA转染COS-7细胞后,产生了具有转导能力的病毒颗粒,这些颗粒能够感染各种细胞并高效产生小鼠IFN-β。病毒原液中未检测到野生型SV40。病毒感染后,猴肾细胞中IFN的产量非常高,但在人上皮细胞中较低,在小鼠、猪、仓鼠细胞和人淋巴细胞中产量很低。将该DNA导入猴肾细胞的效率与磷酸钙沉淀法进行了比较,发现病毒载体的效率要高几十到几百倍。
