What is Lentivirus?

Lentivirus is a genus of retroviruses that express reverse transcriptase and integrase. These two enzymes are used to integrate viral DNA into host DNA, allowing for the exploitation of host machinery to express viral genes. Lentiviral vectors are modified from HIV-1, with many of the viral genes removed. The lentiviral vector only contains the LTRs and the packaging signal, Ψ. In addition, lentiviral packaging genes are provided on separate plasmids, so the pseudo lentiviral particles are replication deficient. Using lentiviral vectors to deliver genes into targeted cells has proven to be a dependable, efficient, and safe method for research.

Benefits of Using Lentivirus

  • Broad cell spectrum: Lentivirus can infect many cells including dividing & non-dividing, easy-to-transfect, and hard-to-transfect cells.
  • High transduction efficiency.
  • Convenience: Minimal need for optimization.
  • Safety: 3rd generation system with improved biosafety.

Customer Reviews

"I have used lenti-ORF plasmids for the generation of overexpression stable cells. They work well. The cell selection marker in the vector made it easier to generate stable cells."
