Replication-competent retroviral vectors based on Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) are becoming increasingly popular for expressing genes in both primary cell cultures and embryonic chick tissues in ovo. In this article we review the features of RSV and its life cycle that make it suitable for use as a vector. We describe the design and use of the RCA and RCAS(BP) series of vectors which are currently the most widely used RSV-based vectors, illustrating both their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we outline laboratory protocols suitable for the handling of these retroviral vectors.
