Abstract |
|---|
We developed a replication-defective reporter virus pseudotyped with the envelope glycoprotein of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV). The in vitro host range and neutralization phenotype of EIAV-Env pseudotyped virus were similar to replication-competent virus. An EIAV-Env pseudovirus will improve antigenic characterization of viral variants and evaluation of lentivirus vaccines.
