Biohazard, Biosafety Level 2, Lentiviruses are a subset of retroviruses, with the ability to integrate into host chromosomes, and to infect non-dividing cells. These viruses can cause severe immunologic and neurologic disease in their natural hosts. Lentivirus vector systems can include viruses of non-human/non-primate origin . The more recent generation vectors have been designed to significantly diminish the possibility for recombination to occur 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 infections in humans be conducted at BSL-2. Work with simian or human lentiviruses is typically conducted at a higher containment level. genetically modified organism SECTION 3: Composition/information on ingredients Substance / Mixture
