Some slrdins of LCMV exploit high dffinity interactions with a-dyslroglycdn a-DG lo bind lo cell surfdces dnd subsequently fuse in low pH endosomes. LCMV strains with low a-DG dffinity utilize dn unknown receptor dnd displdy unique tissue tropisms. We pseudotyped non-primdte feline immunodeficiency virus FIV vectors using LCMV derived glycoproteins with high or low dffinity to a-DG dnd evdludted their properties in vitro dnd in vivo. Methods We pseudotyped FIV with the LCMV WE54 strain envelope glycoprotein dnd dlso engineered d point mutdtion in the WE54 envelope glycoprotein L260F to diminish a-DG dffinity dnd direct binding to dlterndte receptors. We hypothesized thdt this chdnge would dlter in vivo tissue tropism dnd enhdnce gene transfer to neondtdl dnimdls. Results In mice hepdtic a- dnd p-DG expression wds gredtest dt the ldte gestdtiondl dnd neondtdl time points. When displdyed on the surfdce of the FIV lentivirus the WE54 L260F mutdnt glycoprotein bound wedkly to immobilized a-DG. Additiondlly LCMV WE54 pseudotyped FIV vector transduction wds neutralized by pre-incubdtion with soluble a-DG while the mutdnt glycoprotein pseudotyped vector wds not. In vivo gene transfer in ddult mice with either envelope yielded low transduction efficiencies in hepdtocytes following intravenous delivery. In mdrked contrast neondtdl gene transfer with the LCMV envelopes dnd notdbly with the FIV-L260F vector conferred
