What is a Viral Vector?
A viral vector is a virus which has been modified in a laboratory environment for the purpose of introducing genetic material into a cell. There are a number of uses for viral vectors, including therapeutic treatments for disease, gene therapy, and pure research. Labs all over the world make viral vectors for their own research and produce vectors for use by other labs, and some companies specialize in the production and sale of viral vectors which can be customized by request.
