Second generation, integration-deficient viral particles pseudotyped with the VSV-G envelope glycoprotein were produced by transient co-transfection of the relevant transfer plasmid and pMD2.VSV-G, and psPAX2 packaging plasmids into Lenti-X 293T cell line (Clontech). Supernatant containing virus was harvested 48 hours after transfection, centrifuged at 500 × g for 10 minutes at room temperature and then filtered with a 0.45 µm sterile filter to remove the cellular debris. The filtered medium was then concentrated using Lenti-X concentrator (Clontech), and the titer was estimated using the Lenti-X GoStix (Clontech). The particles were then aliquoted and stored at −80°C.

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.
