Human cells infected with retrovirus vectors acquire an endogenous murine provirus.

PMCID: PMC249120  PMID: 2152828

Abstract

A 5.2-kilobase mouse RNA is expressed in human cells following infection with recombinant retroviruses propagated in mouse NIH 3T3 cells as psi-2 pseudotypes. This RNA is transcribed from a defective mink cell focus-forming provirus and copackaged into virions and integrated into human target cell DNA at a frequency comparable to that of the recombinant retrovirus genome.
