Chimeric human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with enhanced dendritic cell and macrophage tropism comprising the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) minimal Vpx packaging domain
Chimeric human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with enhanced dendritic cell and macrophage tropism comprising the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) minimal Vpx packaging domain
The compositions and methods described herein relate to lentiviral vectors that can be used to generate virions/viruses that exhibit enhanced infectivity with respect to monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) and dendritic cells (MDDC). Such compositions and methods further relate to production of virions/viruses that can be used as components of vaccines that effectively stimulate innate immune responses. In a particular embodiment, compositions and methods described herein relate to production of virions/viruses that can be used as components of human immunodeficiency-1 (HIV-1) vaccines administered to stimulate innate immune responses to HIV-1.
