We introduce a set of human cDNA expression libraries inserted into the high-titer retroviral vector pFB. ViraPortretroviral libraries allow complex cDNA libraries to be efficiently introduced into virtually any mitotic cell type for screening based on gene function. The cDNA copy number per cell can be easily controlled by adjusting the multiplicity of infection (MOI). In this way, cell populations may be generated in which greater than 90% of infected cells contain one-to-five cDNAs. We describe the isolation of two known oncogenes and one cell-surface receptor from one of the libraries (Burkitts Lymphoma).
