Provided are novel vectors and viral vectors capable of expressing
exogenous gene or exogenous nucleic acid sequences in a target cell of
interest, such as T cells, bone marrow cells, epithelial cells, liver
cells and the like. The nucleic acid components of the vectors may
include one or more native promoter/enhancer regions having modified
sequence segments, one or more non-native promoter/enhancer or non-native
promoter's gene or gene segment, and a native viral vector terminator or
processing signal or segment thereof. The viral vectors comprise a virus
or viral portion having on the surfaces or envelopes adsorption
components, one for a packaging cell line and the other for delivery to a
target cell. Packaging cell lines for propagating the vectors and viral
vectors are also provided, as are novel processes for propagating any of
the disclosed vectors or viral vectors.
