The present invention relates to retroviral vectors carrying DNA sequences encoding SDI-1, function analogues of SDI-1, or fragments thereof, or antisense SDI-1 DNA sequences, and especially retroviral vectors carrying the SDI-1 or antisense SDI-1 sequences under the transcriptional control of target cell specific regulatory elements or promoters or X-ray inducible promoters. Further, the invention relates to the use of such retroviral vectors for the production of recombinant retroviral particles useful for the treatment of disorders or diseases responsive to the anti-proliferative activity of SDI-1, or the proliferative activity of antisense SDI-1 sequences.
