If I put 5'-CMV-cDNA-polyA-3' on 5' ITR-3'PolyA-cDNA-CMV3'-3'TR, can cDNA be expressed in rAAV vector?

I use homologous recombination cloning to assemble CMV-cDNA-PolyA (3.9 bp) to AAV transfer vector. After sequencing, I found the fragment is reversely inserted between 5'ITR and 3'ITR. We have...

What element(s) can replace WPRE but serve as almost same function as WPRE ?

I wanna put two WPRE in lentivirus vector. WPRE-transgene 1-promoter 1-promoter 2-transgene 2-WPRE. But I am worried two WPRE in lentivirus would reduce titre to great extent. So maybe I can...
