Human foamy virus (HFV) is a retrovirus of the spumavirus family. We have constructed vectors based on HFV that encode neomycin phosphotransferase and alkaline phosphatase. These vectors are able to transduce a wide variety of vertebrate cells by integration of the vector genome. Unlike vectors based on murine leukemia virus, HFV vectors are not inactivated by human serum, and they transduce stationary-phase cultures more efficiently than murine leukemia virus vectors. These properties, as well as their large packaging capacity, make HFV vectors promising gene transfer vehicles.
人类泡沫病毒（HFV）是泡沫病毒科的一种逆转录病毒。我们构建了基于HFV的载体，这些载体编码新霉素磷酸转移酶和碱性磷酸酶。通过载体基因组的整合，这些载体能够转导多种脊椎动物细胞。与基于鼠白血病病毒的载体不同，HFV载体不会被人血清灭活，并且它们比鼠白血病病毒载体更有效地转导静止期培养物。这些特性以及它们较大的包装容量，使得HFV载体成为有前景的基因转移载体。
