"Our lab tested TransIT®-LT1 from Mirus for virus production in 293T cells. At a 3:1 ratio using up to 5 µg of lentivirus, packaging and envelope plasmid, TransIT®-LT1 was far superior to Lipofectamine® in terms of viral titer downstream. So much so that our lab purchased the 0.4 ml product after using the trial."

"Recently, Mirus Tech Support helped me troubleshoot moving my virus production to a serum free procedure. They helped me with many aspects of the procedure as I am new to this field. Most importantly, they alerted me that the media I was using for my transfections was recently identified by the R & D team at Mirus as not being appropriate for transfections. Once I changed transfection media, I was able to produce virus in my serum free system. Thank you to Mirus Tech Support. Your support is greatly appreciated."

"Our lab successfully tested TransIT®-Insect Transfection Reagent for generating recombinant baculovirus in insect cells. Using TransIT®-Insect with multiple BEVS we were able to generate high-titer baculovirus that resulted in consistently higher protein expression in High Five™ and Sf9 cells compared to Cellfectin® II (Life Technologies)."
-Dr. Linda Lua (Director), The University of Queenland - Protein Expression Facility
"Our lab tested TransIT®-Insect for virus production in Sf9 cells. It performed better than Cellfectin® II that we currently use for transfecting these cells. Cytopathic effects (CPE) of the baculovirus were observed after 5 days with as little as 0.5 µg DNA per well of a 6-well plate. When using Cellfectin® and other reagents, we haven’t seen any results using the same amount of input DNA."
