Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Pseudotypes of Retroviruses

Pseudotype viruses are phenotypically mixed virions containing the genome or nucleocapsid of one enveloped virus and the surface or envelope (env ) glycoproteins of another. This chapter will concentrate on vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudotypes retaining the VSV nucleocapsid but with alternative env glycoproteins derived from retroviruses.
