293T cells for lentiviral packaging
Getting the most from your lentiviral packaging system requires a host HEK 293T cell line that is easily transfected and supports high-level expression of viral proteins. Our Lenti-X 293T cell line was clonally selected to meet these requirements, allowing you to produce the highest possible lentiviral titers (up to 108 IFU/ml) when combined with our premium high-titer Lenti-X packaging systems.
Overview
- 293T clone selected for high-titer lentivirus production
- Get more lentivirus produced per transfection
- 6X more virus than 293FT cells, 30X more virus than HEK 293 (see data images by expanding the Details tab in the product table)
- Obtain up to 109 IFU from one 10 cm plate when combined with our Lenti-X packaging systems

10-minute lentiviral titration using a smartphone?
This video introduces the GoStix Plus app, which is used with Lenti-X GoStix Plus lateral flow assays to quantify lentiviral p24 from packaging cell supernatants. After applying a small amount of sample to a GoStix cassette and waiting 10 minutes for the test to develop, simply scan the cassette with a smartphone running the app. The app also includes features for sharing results and providing feedback.
Video—fourth-generation lentiviral packaging
Generate lentiviral titers that far exceed most other commercially available packaging systems—you can expect titers of 107–108 infectious units (IFU) per ml, far higher than other popular systems generate. Watch the video in the first tab to find out how our fourth-generation packaging system can generate such high titers.
