Abstract: | Background Genetically modified pseudorabies virus (Prv) proved suitable for the delivery of foreign genes to rodent embryonic neurons
ex vivo and maintaining foreign gene expression after transplantation into spinal cord in our earlier study. The question arose of
whether human embryonic neurons, which are known to be more resistant to Prv, could also be infected with a mutant Prv. Specifically,
we investigated whether a mutant Prv with deleted ribonucleotide reductase and early protein 0 genes has the potential to
deliver marker genes (gfp and β-gal) into human embryonic spinal cord neurons and whether the infected neurons maintain expression
after transplantation into adult mouse cord. |
