Supplemental Article to Lesch et al. (2011); Journal club 1: This article provides interesting support to the effectiveness of lentivirus vectors for gene therapy treatment. Not only is HIV or lentivirus efficient at transduction to rapidly dividing cells, it is also capable of transduction to nondividing cells; making it an exciting vector for gene therapy treatment. The range of diseases that could be treatable with a gene therapy vector that can target other cell types than hematopoietic cells could transform the science of gene therapy.

wipe with a wet cloth, and then disinfect with chlorine.

Household bleach, says Duizer, is an average about 5 percent chlorine when new (concentration declines with age), or 50,000 PPM, and thus, can be diluted 50-fold to achieve the 1,000 ppm.

Norovirus is apparently no more resistant to cleaning and disinfection than other pathogens, says Duizer. The virus’ efficiency in causing outbreaks “is more likely due to their extremely low infectious dose
