Published: March 2004

Recombinant viral vectors have been used to study a variety of fundamental issues in developmental neurobiology, as well as pathogenesis and treatments for various neurodegenerative diseases. Lentiviral vectors are valuable tools for neurobiology research owing to their ability to transduce nondividing cells, such as neurons, and to introduce therapeutic or reporter genes into central nervous system (CNS) cells in vivo and in vitro.
