Abstract:	Efficient and stable gene transfer into primary human T lymphocytes would greatly improve their use for adoptive transfer to treat acquired disorders, viral diseases, and cancer. We have constructed retroviral vector pseudotypes of amphotropic murine leukemia viruses (A-MuLV, MuLV-10A1), gibbon ape leukemia virus (GaLV), and feline endogenous virus (RD114) containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker gene. Transduction of primary human CD8+ T lymphocytes by the different GFP- retrovirus pseudotypes revealed the superiority of MuLV-10A1 in comparison with A-MuLV, GaLV, and RD114, respectively. The superior transduction efficacy of CD8+ T cells by MuLV-10A1 correlates with a longer half-life of this pseudotype in comparison with A-MuLV and, as shown by interference analysis with the human T cell line HUT78, by the utilization of both the A- MuLV receptor (Pit2) and the GaLV receptor (Pit1) for cell entry.
