1. A recombinant lentiviral particle comprising:
(a) a viral envelope comprising (i) a vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus envelope glycoprotein (VSIV-G) comprising amino acid substitutions selected from the group consisting of: K47A and R354A; K47A and R354Q; K47Q and R354A; and K47Q and R354Q; and (ii) a non-viral membrane-bound tropism polypeptide comprising an anti-CD38 scFv and a human CD8α hinge and transmembrane domain; and
(b) a recombinant lentiviral vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding a myeloproliferative sarcoma virus enhancer, negative control region deleted, dl587rev primer-binding site substituted (MND) U3 promoter or an EF1α promoter, the promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding (i) a signal peptide and (ii) an anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor comprising an anti-BCMA scFv comprising a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising a CDRH1, a CDRH2, and a CDRH3 comprising the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 62, 63, and 64, and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising a CDRL1, a CDRL2, and a CDRL3 comprising the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 66, 67, and 68; a CD8a hinge and transmembrane domain; a CD137 costimulatory domain; and a CD3 primary signaling domain.
