• Optimized Production of Lentivirus Using FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  Lentiviral vectors are ideally suited vehicles for a broad range of research applications. Depending on pseudotype, lentiviruses infect a wide range of cell types, non-discriminately transducing both dividing and non-dividing cells. As opposed to other popular vector delivery systems, lentivirus stably and rapidly integrates genetic payload into the host genome allowing for long-term studies in vivo. Current lentiviral vector systems can accommodate upwards of ten kilobases of foreign DNA [1], although promoter and enhancer elements reduce the practical size of gene open-reading frames to perhaps five or six kilo­bases, which is sufficient to accommodate most genes commonly studied in the mammalian genome. more
