โฆ Synopsis
Significant advances have been made in precisely defining the elements in the Moloney murine leukemia virus genome responsible for tissue-restricted expression. This knowledge should lead to improved expression vectors for gene transfer in mammalian cells. In the past year, retrovirus-mediated gene expression in a diverse range of cell types has been reported. These cells have been used to study gene transfer relevant to a range of inherited diseases.

## Abstract A quantitative understanding of the process of retrovirusโmediated gene transfer into mammalian cells should assist the design and optimization of transduction protocols. We present a mathematical model of the process that incorporates the essential rateโlimiting transduction steps incl
