Description: Lentivirus based on HIV-1 provides a powerful means for gene expression because it can infect both dividing and non-dividing cells. Other 3rd generation lentiviral packaging systems provide a reduced risk of replication-competent virus, but a small risk remains. Our ViraSafe Lentivirus Expression Complete Systems provide a safer method even compared to other 3rd generation expression systems. Overlap with native HIV genes has been reduced much further, thereby substantially reducing the chance of generating replication-competent virus. The system has been engineered so that lentiviral titers remain at the levels of third generation systems. Our Ecotropic Expression Systems assemble lentiviruses with an ecotropic envelope protein which will readily infect only mouse and rat cells via receptor-mediated binding, providing an additional level of safety. However, ecotropic viruses are not as stable upon freezing and will not survive ultracentrifugation procedures.

Description: Accurate measurement of adenovirus titer is critical for gene delivery. Traditional plaque-forming unit (PFU) assays are long and suffer from high inter-assay variability. The QuickTiter Adenovirus Titer ELISA Kit provides a quick, complete system to functionally titer virus infectivity. The assay recognizes all 41 serotypes of adenovirus, and can be used with any adenovirus system that can amplify in HEK 293 cells.

Description: Traditionally RCA (replication competent adenovirus) is measured in permissive cells by a plaque-forming unit (PFU) assay which takes 10-14 days. Our Rapid RCA Assay Kit uses an immunocytochemistry staining protocol that requires only a two day incubation.

Description: It is often useful to quickly quantify your lentivirus prior to purification. Our QuickTiter Lentivirus Quantitation Kit provides a quick method for measuring the viral nucleic acid content of your lentivirus. This assay may be performed either before or after purification of your virus.

Description: Our QuickTiter Retrovirus Quantitation Kit provides a quick method for determining retroviral titer. This assay measures the viral nucleic acid content of your retrovirus, and may be performed either before or after purification of your virus.

Description: Purification of adeno-associated virus (AAV) using ultracentrifugation is tedious and time-consuming, and yields can be low. Our ViraBind AAV Purification Kits use a single-step proprietary purification matrix, followed by further purification and concentration with a centrifugal concentrator. The result is a higher viral yield with exceptional purity in a fraction of the time.

Description: Traditionally, adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles have been quantified by DNA dot blot or similar procedures. These methods can be time-consuming and suffer from a high degree of inter-assay variability. Our QuickTiter AAV Quantitation Kit uses a proprietary technology to quantify the viral nucleic acid content of AAV preps. The kit can be used with unpurified supernatant of AAV-2 or AAV-DJ, or with purified AAV from any serotype.

Description: An anti-HBVcAg monoclonal coating antibody is adsorbed onto a microtiter plate. HBV core antigen present in the sample or standard binds to the antibodies adsorbed on the plate; a FITC-conjugated mouse anti-HBVcAg antibody is added and binds to the antigen captured by the first antibody. Following incubation and wash steps, a HRP-conjugated mouse anti-FITC antibody is added and binds to the FITC conjugated anti-HBVcAg. Following unbound HRP-conjugated mouse anti-FITC antibody is removed during a wash step, and substrate solution reactive with HRP is added to the wells. A colored product is formed in proportion to the amount of HBV core antigen present in the sample. The reaction is terminated by addition of acid and absorbance is measured at 450 nm. A standard curve is prepared from recombinant HBV core antigen and sample concentration is then determined.

Description: An anti-HCVcAg monoclonal coating antibody is adsorbed onto a microtiter plate. HCV core antigen present in the sample or standard binds to the antibodies adsorbed on the plate; a FITC-conjugated mouse anti-HCVcAg antibody is added and binds to the antigen captured by the first antibody. Following incubation and wash steps, a HRP-conjugated mouse anti-FITC antibody is added and binds to the FITC conjugated anti-HCVcAg. Following unbound HRP-conjugated mouse anti-FITC antibody is removed during a wash step, and substrate solution reactive with HRP is added to the wells.

A standard curve is prepared from recombinant HCV core antigen and sample concentration is then determined.

Description: An anti-MuLV p30 monoclonal coating antibody is adsorbed onto a microtiter plate. MuLV core antigen (p30) present in the sample or standard binds to the antibodies adsorbed on the plate; an anti-MuLV p30 polyclonal antibody is added and binds to the antigen captured by the first antibody. Following incubation and wash steps, a HRP-conjugated secondary antibody is added and binds to the anti-MuLV p30 polyclonal. Unbound HRP-conjugated secondary antibody is removed during the wash steps, and substrate solution reactive with HRP is added to the wells. A colored product is formed in proportion to the amount of MuLV core antigen present in the sample. The reaction is terminated by addition of acid and absorbance is measured at 450 nm. A standard curve is prepared from recombinant MuLV p30 core antigen and sample concentration is then determined.

Description: Our ViraSafe Lentiviral Packaging Systems contain three packaging plasmids for co-transfection with your own third generation lentiviral expression construct. If you need an expression vector as well as the packaging plasmids, consider our ViraSafe Lentiviral Expression Complete Systems.

If you need an expression vector as well as the packaging plasmids, consider our ViraSafe Lentiviral Expression Complete Systems. The Pantropic Packaging System assembles VSVG-pseudotyped lentiviruses which can easily infect virtually any cells regardless of their species of origin.

Description: Clone your gene of interest and a gene-specific promoter into this Lentiviral Expression Vector, then co-transfect along with lentiviral packaging vectors into a packaging cell line such as 293T or 293LTV. This expression vector is compatible with any 2nd or 3rd generation lentiviral packaging system, but due to its design it is best matched with our ViraSafe packaging vectors to produce the highest viral titer.
