There are lentiviral vectors available in the lab.

Direct administration of ovalbumin (OVA) encoding lentiviral vectors caused in vivo transduction of cells that were found in draining lymph nodes (LNs) and induced potent anti-OVA cytotoxic T cells similar to those elicited by ex vivo transduced DC.

We have prepared two plasmids coding for LACK linked to either eGFP or mCherry fluorescent proteins, under the control of the beta-casein promoter. In order to identify the APCs that were responsible for the development of this state of immune tolerance, we aimed to generate a transgenic mouse that express a recombinant fluorescent protein in the mammary glands, an approach that should result in high levels of expression of the fluorescent protein in the milk. We thus should be able to detect the cells that capture, degrade and present this antigen to T cel...

Vectors were engineered to express distinct chemokines at the local skin site of mice. In particular, attention has been focussed on the recruitment of distinct subsets of DC to skin.
