Lentiviruses
All BPS Bioscience Lentiviral products are supplied as ready-to-use viral particles. Uses include
- Stable cell line generation
- Protein expression or protein knockout
- Detection method for biochemical assays and reporter assays (GFP, luciferase)
BPS’s lentivirus are enveloped viruses that enter cells by membrane fusion. Our lentivirus have been VSV-G pseudotyped; this means that the virus consist of vector particles bearing glycoproteins derived from other enveloped viruses—in this case, vesicular stomatitis virus GP (VSV-G). VSV-G pseudotyping provides stability and a very broad host range, making these virus particles especially useful to target a wide range of cell types.
Lentivirus Advantages
- Can infect both actively-dividing and non-dividing cells, whereas most viruses can only infect mitotically-active cells
- Can infect a wide range of cell stages
- Ideal for transducing primary cells or stem cells, which can be resistant to other transduction methods
- Size of inserted DNA can be up to 10 kb
- Long-term stable expression of a transgene
- Low immunogenicity, low toxicity, and transduction efficiencies can be extremely high (up to 100%)
