Doxycycline Regulated Lentiviral Vectors

Lentiviral vectors are a powerful tool to achieve regulated expression of transgenes in vivo and in vitro. The doxycycline-inducible system is well characterized and can be used to regulate expression mediated by lentiviral vectors. Because many different doxycycline-inducible lentiviral vectors have been described, choosing the best vector system can be difficult. This chapter can be used as a guide to select the optimal system for a particular application.
