Lenti-X Transduction Sponge compatible cell types
One of the advantages of Lenti-X Transduction Sponge is its versatility, allowing the same easy protocol to be applied to a wide range of cell types, including commonly used cell lines and previously difficult-to-transduce primary cells.
Wondering what cell types have been successfully transduced with the sponge? See the full list below.
