From: Identification of unique reciprocal and non reciprocal cross packaging relationships between HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV reveals an efficient SIV/HIV-2 lentiviral vector system with highly favourable features for in vivo testing and clinical usage

Figure 9

Transduction of neural stem cells by a HIV-2 based GFP lentiviral vector packaged by SIV-2 Gag-Pol. (A) Phase contrast image through growing neurosphere (upper left). (B) Fluorescent image of neurosphere in A expressing GFP 72 hours post transduction (upper right). (C) Confocal image through neurosphere expressing GFP (lower left) (D) Neurons derived from human neurosphere 7 days post differentiation (lower right). Red represents β tubulin III, green – GFP, Hoechst stain (blue) nuclei. Arrow denotes double labelled cell. Magnification in A and B = 10×, in C = 100×, D = 40×
