General description

The CRISPR & MISSION Lentiviral Packaging Mix is an optimized formulation of two plasmids expressing the key HIV packaging genes and a heterologous viral envelope gene.

Lentiviral particles are generated from three main components:
  • The packaging vector, which contains the minimal set of lentiviral genes required to generate the virion structural proteins and packaging functions.
  • The vesicular stomatitis virus G-protein envelope vector, which provides the heterologous envelope for pseudotyping and allows these lentiviral particles to efficiently deliver the transfer sequence of interest to a wide variety of cell types, including primary and non-dividing cells
  • The lentiviral transfer vector, which contains the sequence of interest as well as the cis acting sequences necessary for packaging.

The Lentiviral Packaging Mix contains the first two components; it is designed to be co-transfected along with a compatible lentiviral transfer vector in order to create high-titer pseudo-typed lentiviral particles used for downstream transduction applications. This product is recommended for packaging Lenti CRISPR, Lenti ORF, and Lenti shRNA vectors.

Safe Lentivirus Handling

Our lentiviral vector systems are developed with enhanced safety features. Numerous precautions are in place in the design of our lentiviruses to prevent replication. Good handling practices are a must.

Successful Transduction Using Lentivirus

Successful targeting relies on optimizing key sensitive steps in the process, including lentiviral transduction. Below are some helpful handling and titration tips from our R&D lentiviral experts.

CRISPR Lentiviral Screening: Antibiotic Selection

You are not alone designing successful CRISPR, RNAi, and ORF experiments. Sigma-Aldrich was the first company to commercially offer lentivirus versions of targeted genome modification technologies and has the expertise and commitment to support new generations of scientists.

FACS Titration of Lentivirus Protocol

FACS (Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting) provides a method for sorting a mixed population of cells into two or more groups, one cell at a time, based on the specific light scattering and fluorescence of each cell. This method provides fast, objective, and quantitative recording of fluorescent signals from individual cells.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
