Hek293 ltv cells

Manufactured by Cell Biolabs
Sourced in United States

HEK293 LTV cells are a genetically modified cell line derived from human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells. These cells are designed to express the large T antigen (LT) from the SV40 virus, which can enhance viral transduction and gene expression. The core function of HEK293 LTV cells is to serve as a reliable host for the production and amplification of lentiviral vectors.

Lentiviral Vector Production Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to produce the relative lentiviruses, HEK-293LTV cells (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA) were initially plated into a p15 dish and then transfected when ~ 90% confluent with 9 µg of pMD2G (envelop vector), 24 µg of pPAX2 (packaging vector) and 30 µg of the relative trans-vector in the presence of 1 mg/ml of polyethylenamine (PEI). 12 h after transfection, media were refreshed. 24 h later, media were collected and stored at 4 °C while the cells received new media. This procedure was repeated 24 h later and then media for the same lentivirus were pooled. After spinning at 2000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C to precipitate cells debris, 5X PEG-IT Virus Precipitation Solution (SBI System Biosciences, Mountain View, CA, USA) was added to the media. After vortexing, media were left at 4 °C overnight (at least 12 h). The day after, media were spun at 1500 × g for 30 min at 4 °C. Pellets (lentivirus particles) were suspended with PBS + 25 mM Hepes in 1/1000 of the initial volume of the pooled media. Aliquots were created and stored at −80 °C. Lentivirus titers were biologically established by qPCR.

Lentiviral Vector Production for EGFP and hOCT4

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lentiviral vector plasmids coding enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)
and human OCT4 (hOCT4) were prepared. EGFP and
hOCT4 inserts are obtained by PCR amplification from pLL3.7 (Invitrogen) and
FU-tet-o-hOCT4 (Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA), respectively. Each insert was passed to the
LIN28 coding region of the pSIN-EF2-LIN28-PUR plasmid (Addgene). Preparation of lentivirus
particles followed the previous report [26 (link)] with modification. Prepared
self-inactivating lentiviral vector plasmids harboring transgenes, packaging plasmids (pLP1 and pLP2;
Invitrogen), and envelop plasmids (pLP/VSVG; Invitrogen) were used for lentivirus particle production, and
HEK293 LTV cells (Cell Biolabs, USA) were used for packaging lentivirus particles. The detailed procedure is
described in the Supplementary Materials and
Methods
(online only).

Recombinant lentiviral particles were produced as described previously (Lois et al. 2002) . In brief, HEK293LTV cells (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, USA) were transfected with equimolar amounts of pFSGW, pdelta8.9 and pVSVg using polyethyleneimine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA). Virus particles were harvested two days after transfection by collecting the cell culture supernatant and concentrated by ultracentrifugation (90 min at 75,000 g in a SW32Ti rotor, Beckman Coulter, Brea, USA). Virus-containing solution was aliquoted, shock frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C for further use.

Lentiviral vectors were produced as previously described [21 ]. Briefly, HEK 293 LTV cells (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA) were used as the packaging cell line, and five plasmids were used for the production of lentiviral vectors: FUW-tetO-pMYOD1 and FUW-M2rtTA (the transfer plasmid); pLP1 and pLP2 (the packaging plasmids; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA); and pLP/VSVG (the envelope plasmid; Invitrogen). These plasmids were transfected into HEK 293 LTV cells using the calcium phosphate precipitation method. Subsequently, the LTV culture supernatants were filtered and concentrated. The derived virus pellets were stored at − 76 °C until use.

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.
