Abstract Background Host factors required for retroviral infection are potential targets for the modulation of diseases caused by retroviruses. During the retroviral life cycle numerous cellular factors interact with the virus and play an essential role in infection. Cultured embryonic stem ES cells are susceptible to retroviral infection therefore providing access to all of the genes required for this process to take place. In order to identify the host factors involved in retroviral infection we designed and implemented a scheme for identifying ES cells that are resistant to retroviral infection and subsequent cloning of the mutated gene. Results A library of mutant ES cells was established by genome-wide insertional mutagenesis in B m-deficient ES cells and a screen was performed by superinfection of the library at high multiplicity with a recombinant retrovirus carrying a positive and negative selection cassette. Stringent negative selection was .
