Biohazard, Biosafety Level 2 Lentiviruses are a subset of retroviruses, with the ability to integrate into host chro- mosomes, and to infect non-dividing cells. These viruses can cause severe immuno- logic and neurologic disease in their natural hosts. Lentivirus vector systems can in- clude viruses of non-human/non-primate origin . The more recent generation vectors have been designed to significantly diminish the possibility for recombination to oc- cur resulting in a wild type- potentially infectious virus. Typical lentivirus vectors are packaged using pseudotyped enveloped proteins. It is usually recommended that work with nonhuman lentiviruses that are incapable of establishing productive infec- tions in humans be conducted at BSL-2. Work with simian or human lentiviruses is typically conducted at a higher containment level. genetically modified organism
