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.

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.
