Lentiviral Particle Production and Transduction

For the production of lentiviral particles, we used the second-generation lentiviral system according to Addgene instructions, using psPAX2 packaging plasmid and pMD2.G envelope plasmid (Addgene, Cambridge, MA). Co-transfection of the lentiviral packaging/envelope plasmids and transfer vector into the HEK239FT (2 × 107 cells/transfection) was performed using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) scaled according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. After overnight incubation, sodium butyrate (Cayman Chemical) was added at a final concentration of 10 mM to increase viral titer. The lentiviral particles in the supernatant were collected at 48–72 h and used to transduce cells. GBM neurospheres (1.5 × 105 cells) were seeded in a 6-well cell culture plate and infected overnight with a lentiviral medium containing viral particles and polybrene (1 µg/mL), supplemented with the appropriate medium. On the following morning, cells were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in a fresh neurosphere medium. A list of lentiviral constructs used can be found in Supplementary Table 5.

Co-transfection of the lentiviral packaging/envelope plasmids and transfer vector into the HEK239FT (2x10 7 cells/transfection) was performed using Lipofectamine 3000 (ThermoFisher Scienti c) scaled according to manufacturer recommendations. After overnight incubation, sodium butyrate (Cayman Chemical) was added at nal concentration of 10mM to increase viral titer. The lentiviral particles in supernatant were collected at 48-72 h and used to transduce cells. GBM neurospheres (1.5 × 10 5 cells) were seeded in a 6-well cell culture plate and infected overnight with lentiviral medium containing viral particles and polybrene (1 µg/mL), supplemented with appropriate medium. On the following morning, cells were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in fresh neurosphere medium. List of lentiviral constructs used can be found in table S5.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
