TransIT^®-Lenti Transfection Reagent – 5 x 1.5 mL

Supporting Data

High Efficiency Transfection with TransIT®-Lenti Transfection Reagent. Adherent 293T/17 cells were transfected in a 6-well plate format using the pLKO.1-puro-CMV-TurboGFP™ transfer vector and the Lentivirus Packaging Mix Powered by MISSION® Genomics using the TransIT®-Lenti Transfection Reagent (3:1, vol:wt). GFP efficiency was measured at 48 hours post-transfection using guava easyCyte™ 5HT Flow Cytometer.  Error bars represent five transfection complexes. Images were captured at 48 hours post-transfection (10X objective) using a Zeiss Axiovert S100 inverted fluorescence microscope. The observed cell rounding and cell-cell fusion is due to high expression of the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G) for pseudotyping the recombinant lentivirus.

Lentivirus Production is Scalable. Adherent 293T/17 cells were transfected in a 12-well, 6-well or 100 mm plate format using the pLKO.1-puro-CMV-TurboGFP™ transfer vector and the Lentivirus Packaging Mix Powered by MISSION® Genomics at a 1:1 ratio, and the TransIT®-Lenti Transfection Reagent (3:1, vol:wt). The supernatant was harvested, filtered (0.45 µm), and titered using 293T/17 cells. Lentivirus transductions were performed in the presence of 8 µg/ml TransduceIT™ and GFP expression was measured 72 hours post-transduction using guava easyCyte™ 5HT Flow Cytometer. Error bars represent triplicate transfection complexes titered individually. Functional titers were calculated using virus dilutions with less than 20% GFP positive cells.
