Using a retrovirus, foreign genes can be introduced into mammalian cells. The purpose of this study is to produce a retrovirus that can make the infected cells express two genes; the human multidrug resistance gene (MDRI ) and the HLA-B7 gene, which is one of the major hwnan histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes. For the expression of these genes, the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) was used, which was derived from the encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. In order to produce retroviruses, a retroviral vector was transfected into a packaging cell line and the transfected cells were treated with vincristine, which is an anti-cancer drug and a substrate for the MDRI gene product. This study revealed that two genes were incorporated into chromosomes of selected cells and expressed in the same cells. The production of the retrovirus was confirmed by the reverse transcription (RT)-PCR of the viral RNA. The retrovirus that was produced infected mouse fibroblast cells as well as the human U937. This study showed that packaging cells produced the retroviruses, which can infect the target cells. Once the conditions for the high infectivity of retrovirus into human cells are optimised, thus virus will be used to infect hematopoietic stem cells to co-express MDRl and HLA-B7 genes, and develop the lymphocytes that can be used for the immnogene therapy.
