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:

• ddPCR assay: 293T cells were transduced with serial dilutions of 17446-LV, harvested several days later, and genomic DNA was isolated. Copies of RRE were measured and normalized to RPP30.

Notes:

• PCR confirmation of insert: PCR was carried out with primers targeting the hygromycin resistance gene and the SV40 polyA. The PCR product was visualized on an agarose gel for size confirmation.
  Forward Primer: Hygro-internal-F GCGCCGATGGTTTCTACAAA
  Reverse Primer: SV40pA-R GAAATTTGTGATGCTATTGC
