GlossaryLentivirus

virus that integrates into host DNA, used in gene therapy

A lentivirus is a type of virus that belongs to the retrovirus family and is known for its ability to infect and integrate into the DNA of host cells. These viruses can cause long-term, chronic infections and are used in gene therapy due to their ability to deliver genetic material into cells. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a well-known example of a lentivirus.
