10A1 murine leukemia virus can enter cells by using either of two different cell surface phosphate transport proteins, the gibbon ape leukemia virus receptor Glvr-1 (Pit-1) or the amphotropic retrovirus receptor Ram-1 (Pit-2). Glvr-1 and Ram-1 are widely expressed in different tissues, but the relative amounts of each are highly variable. We have developed retrovirus packaging cell lines based on 10A1 virus to take advantage of this dual receptor utilization to improve gene transfer rates in somatic cells of animals and humans, in which the relative levels of the two receptors are not always known. Optimization of the Env expression vector allowed the generation of packaging lines that produce helper-free vector titers up to 10(7)/ml. By interference analysis, we found that a 10A1 pseudotype retroviral vector can utilize Ram-1 for efficient entry into mouse, rat, and human cells and can utilize Glvr-1 for entry into mouse and human cells but not for entry into rat cells. The 10A1 pseudotype vector efficiently enters mouse cells by using Glvr-1, while entry into human cells is much less efficient. Thus, the 10A1 pseudotype packaging cells may be advantageous compared with the standard amphotropic packaging cells because vectors produced by the cells can use an additional receptor for cell entry. These packaging cells will also be useful to further explore the complicated pattern of receptor usage conferred by the 10A1 viral surface protein.
