Information for Concentrated Lentiviral Prep (Catalog # 17446-LVC)

Purpose

Ready-to-use Concentrated Lentiviral Prep particles produced from pLenti CMV GFP Hygro (656-4) (#17446). In addition to the viral particles, you will also receive purified pLenti CMV GFP Hygro (656-4) plasmid DNA.

Concentrated lentiviral particles carrying the GFP and hygromcyin resistance.

Delivery

• Volume: 50 µL
• Titer: ≥1×10⁷ TU/mL
• Pricing: $150 USD for preparation of 50 µL virus + $30 USD for plasmid.
• Storage: Store at -80℃. Thaw just before use and keep on ice.
• Shipment: Viral particles are shipped frozen on dry ice. Plasmid DNA (≥ 200ng) will also be included in the shipment.

Viral Production & Use

• Packaging Plasmids: psPAX2 (plasmid #12260)
• Envelope: pMD2.G (plasmid #12259)
• Buffer: Opti-Pro SFM
• Selectable Marker: Hygromycin
• Purification: Lentivirus was harvested from cell culture medium (DMEM + 10% FBS). Lentiviral particles were then collected by precipitation in polyethylene glycol (PEG) followed by centrifugation. Precipitated pellets containing viral particles were resuspended in PBS.

Biosafety

Requestor is responsible for compliance with their institution's biosafety regulations. Lentivirus is generally considered BSL-2. AAV is generally considered BSL-1, but may require BSL-2 handling depending on the insert. Biosafety Guide

Viral Quality Control

Titering Method:

• Direct fluorescence: Lenti-X cells were transduced with serial dilutions of 17446-LVC. 96 hours later, GFP-positive cells were counted. You can view GFP expression in 17446-LVC-transduced cells here or at the image section at the top of this page. Read our fluorescence titering assay protocol here.

Notes:

• PCR confirmation of insert: PCR was carried out with primers targeting the CMV promoter and WPRE. The PCR product was visualized on an agarose gel for size confirmation.
  Forward Primer: Hygro-internal-F GCGCCGATGGTTTCTACAAA
  Reverse Primer: SV40pA-R GAAATTTGTGATGCTATTGC
