Progress and Perspectives in the Development of Lentiviral Vector Producer Cells
Lentiviral vectors (LV) are widely used in gene therapy and genome editing. Their manufacturing is progressing towards the use of stable producer cell lines, inducible or constitutive. Both stable cell lines are genetically engineered to suppress LV cytotoxicity, either temporarily or permanently.

Serological Method Using Recombinant S2 Protein To Differentiate Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV)-Infected and EIAV-Vaccinated Horses [PDF]
ABSTRACT We recently reported a highly protective attenuated live virus vaccine for equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) based on a proviral construct (EIAV UK ΔS2) with a genetically engineered mutation in the viral S2 gene that eliminates expression of this accessory protein.

Surveillance of the equine infectious anemia virus in Eastern and Central Saudi Arabia during 2014-2016 [PDF]
Background: Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) is one of the most important threats to the equine industry globally. This is due to the poor performance of the affected horses, which requires euthanization of the infected animals upon the infection ...

Antigenic analysis of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) variants by using monoclonal antibodies: epitopes of glycoprotein gp90 of EIAV stimulate neutralizing antibodies [PDF]
Monoclonal antibodies produced against the prototype cell-adapted Wyoming strain of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), a lentivirus, were studied for reactivity with the homologous prototype and 16 heterologous isolates. Eighteen hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were isolated.

A Pilot Study Comparing the Development of EIAV Env-Specific Antibodies Induced by DNA/Recombinant Vaccinia-Vectored Vaccines and an Attenuated Chinese EIAV Vaccine [PDF]
Data from successful attenuated lentiviral vaccine studies indicate that fully mature Env-specific antibodies characterized by high titer, high avidity, and the predominant recognition of conformational epitopes are associated with protective efficacy.

Structures of immature EIAV Gag lattices reveal a conserved role for IP6 in lentivirus assembly. [PDF]
Retrovirus assembly is driven by the multidomain structural protein Gag. Interactions between the capsid domains (CA) of Gag result in Gag multimerization, leading to an immature virus particle that is formed by a protein lattice based on dimeric ...

The efficacy of ELISA commercial kits for the screening of equine infectious anemia virus infection
The most used and reliable indicator of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) infection is the detection of its specific antibodies in horse serum. In the present study, the performance of two commercial ELISA tests for the detection of EIAV antibodies ...
