Specific Viral Targeting of Hematopoietic Stem Cells via Engineering of Viral Tropism

Exclusively Licensed

Disclosed herein are compositions of retroviruses and methods of using the same for gene delivery to a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), wherein the retroviruses comprise a viral envelope protein comprising at least one mutation that diminishes its native function, a non-viral membrane-bound protein comprising a membrane-bound domain and an extracellular targeting domain.
