Replication-competent coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) has been used as a gene transfer vector for cultured cardiomyocytes and hearts in vivo. However, CVB3 induces cell lysis when it replicates in infected cells. In this study, we investigated whether a replication-defective rCVB3 vector could be generated and used as a noncytotoxic gene transfer vector for cardiomyocytes.
