ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a vector system comprising a mutated post-transcriptional regulatory element. In particular, the present invention relates to a mutated WPRE sequence that can efficiently express nucleotides of interest in a retroviral vector system. The present invention also relates to methods of delivering and expressing nucleotides of interest to a target cell.
