Depositor Comments

Please note that significantly lower amounts of this codon optimized plasmid are required for efficient packaging. Depending on the vector type and protocol used so far, optimal titers are achieved with 8 to 30 times less plasmid compared to non-codon optimized GALV env. We suggest to start with 0.02 µg per 1x10^6 293T packaging cells (resulting in about 0.1 µg phCMV-coGALVenv-C4070A plasmid per 10 cm cell culture dish). Full details are given in the publication.
