摘要:
Increased viral particle maturation and production can be achieved in various methods for producing viral particles from viral proteins, in general, by inhibiting or preventing Heme Oxygenase 2 (HO-2) from binding to the group-specific antigen (Gag) of the viral proteins, thus allowing delivery of the viral proteins to plasma membranes where they can replicate and mature without interference from HO-2. The increase in viral particle maturation and production can also be achieved by minimizing or eliminating the presence of HO-2 to thus reduce or prevent binding of HO-2 to the group-specific antigen (Gag) of the viral proteins. The invention is particularly applicable to the production of lentiviruses from viral proteins wherein the Matrix domain (MA) of the Gag is myristoylated.
