Description

The bald lentiviral pseudovirion was produced without envelope glycoproteins such as VSV-G or SARS-CoV-2 spike. It contains a firefly luciferase and eGFP cassette (Luc-P2A-eGFP) as the reporters, driven by a CMV promoter (Figure 1). The bald lentiviral pseudovirion can serve as a negative control when studying virus entry initiated by specific interactions between virus particles and receptors.

Format

Since the virus is lacking the envelope glycoproteins and cannot transduce target cells, functional titer of this product cannot be determined. Based on p24 values, the approximate number of lentiviral particles (LP) of this product is ~109 LP/ml.

Formulation

The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.
