Preferred Label : Viral Pseudotyping;
MeSH definition : Technique in which endogenous ENVELOPE PROTEINS have been replaced by use of a chimeric
vector. For instance a viral vector with SIMIAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS can be coated
with the VIRAL ENVELOPE PROTEINS from Vesicular stomatitus virus. Use of these types
of vectors are useful in developing NEUTRALIZATION TESTS by enabling infection of
almost universal set of host cells.;
MeSH synonym : Pseudotyping, Viral; Virus Pseudotyping; Pseudotyping, Virus;
