Takara, 631530, Retro-X™ Universal Packaging System

This kit provides a complete retroviral vector packaging system for use with any retroviral vector. It is designed to produce virus that can infect dividing cells from a broad range of mammalian and nonmammalian cell types. The GP2-293 Packaging Cell Line contains only the MoMuLVgagandpolgenes. The viral envelope portion of the packaging function (envgene) is supplied by transiently co-transfecting one of the Retro-X Universal Packaging Vectors (p10A1, pAmpho, pEco, or pVSV-G) with the retroviral vector. The pQCLIN Retroviral Vector (included in the vector set) can be used as a positive control to constitutively express β-galactosidase in transduced mammalian cells.
