Lentiviral plasmids were cotransfected into HEK293T cells using calcium phosphate precipitation as previously described [3 (link)–5 (link)]. Lentiviral particles were harvested at 36, 48, 60, and 72 h posttransfection, filtered through Millex-HV 0.45 μM polyvinylidene fluoride syringe filters (EMD Millipore©, Burlington, USA), and concentrated using Amicon Ultra 100 kDa filters (EMD Millipore©, USA). Concentrated lentiviral particles were titered using NIH3T3 cells and FACS analysis of eGFP and mCherry expression. Flow cytometry data were analyzed using BD FACSDiva™ software (Version 8.0.1).
