Takara, 632164, Lenti-X™ Expression System

The Lenti-X Expression System enables you to produce exceptionally high titers of recombinant lentivirus for expression of any cDNA in any cell type susceptible to lentivirus transduction. The Lenti-X packaging system is a proprietary combination of plasmids that collectively expresses all the viral proteins necessary for high-efficiency packaging of lentiviral vector transcripts into infectious lentivirus particles. Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots, which contain lyophilized Lenti-X packaging plasmids and transfection reagent, are used for efficient introduction of the packaging mix and the pLVX-Puro Vector into 293T cells with very high efficiency. The concerted effects of these components allow 293T cells to produce high-titer replication incompetent lentiviral supernatants for a safe transduction of virtually any cell type. The Lenti-X GoStix can be used to determine whether virus production is within a usable range or for selecting the best time to harvest your virus. The system provides enough reagents for 16 packaging reactions.
