Viral Quality Control

Titering Method:

• ddPCR assay: 293T cells were transduced with serial dilutions of 154982-LV, harvested several days later, and genomic DNA was isolated. Copies of RRE were measured and normalized to RPP30.

Notes:

• PCR confirmation of insert: PCRs were carried out on the viral preparation with primers targeting the backbone and TMPRSS2 sequences. The PCR products were visualized on an agarose gel for size confirmation.
