lentivirus /len·ti·vi·rus/ (len´tĭ-vi″rus) any virus of the subfamily Lentivirinae.
Lentivirus /Len·ti·vi·rus/ (len´tĭ-vi″rus) a genus of retroviruses that cause persistent infection that typically results in chronic, progressive, usually fatal disease; it includes the human immunodeficiency viruses.
lentivirus [len′tivī′rəs] any member of a genus of retroviruses that have long incubation periods and cause chronic, progressive, usually fatal diseases in humans and other animals. Species include the types of human immunodeficiency virus. lentivirus [len´tĭ-vi″rus] any member of a genus of retroviruses that have long incubation periods and cause chronic, progressive, usually fatal diseases in humans and other animals.

Once the initial experiments conducted by the researchers confirmed that their approach was working, they injected lentiviruses carrying two well-known oncogenes, H-Ras and Akt, into three separate brain regions of mice lacking one copy of the gene encoding the tumor suppressor p53: the hippocampus, which is involved in learning and memory; the subventricular zone, which lines the brain's fluid-filled cavity; and the cortex, which governs abstract reasoning and symbolic thought in humans. However, lentiviruses are potentially good vectors for transporting genetic material into neurons because they can infect dividing and non-dividing cells. |
