Lentivirus

Lentiviral particles for fluorescent whole-cell labeling

Cells transduced with these premade, super-high titer particles will express a bright fluorescent protein in one of four colors: red (TdTomato or mCherry), green (ZsGreen1), cyan (AmCyan1), or yellow (ZsYellow1). The fluorescent proteins are predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm, allowing the cells to be labeled for cell-tracing and cell-tracking studies.

For fluorescent labeling of specific cellular organelles or structures, visit the fluorescent subcellular labeling lentivirus page.

The Vectalys Constitutive Lentiviral Reporter Vectors are prepackaged lentiviral particles expressing fluorescent protein genes for transducing mammalian cells. The expression of fluorescent protein genes is driven by an EF1α promoter. These VSV-G pseudotyped viruses are capable of infecting both dividing and non-dividing cells. The high purification level of these lentiviral particles allows transduction of primary cells and immortalized cell lines without inducing any toxicity to the cells, even at high multiplicity of infection (M.O.I.).

Overview

What does 10⁹ TU/ml mean?
- In each microliter, there will be at least 1 x 10⁶ functional lentivirus particles.
- Each 60-µl kit is sufficient for 30 transductions (using an MOI of 10) in a 6-well plate containing 2 x 10⁵ cells/well.
Premium quality—produced using a multi-step purification process that results in:
- Very high titer; functional titer of >1 x 10⁹ transduction units per ml (TU/ml).
- High purity—transduce target cells without cytotoxicity.
- >90% transduction efficiency even at very low MOI.
Functional titer provided, not a just a particle count
tdTomato and ZsGreen1 are exceptionally bright fluorescent proteins, 6X and 2.5X brighter than EGFP, respectively.
- Learn more about our fluorescent protein portfolio.
These vectors have a puromycin resistance cassette and the stable clones integrating these constructs can be selected using puromycin.

Learn more about the technology used to make our ready-to-use lentivirus particle preps

Super-pure and concentrated premade lentivirus particles

Unlike ready-to-use lentiviral particles from other suppliers, the particles in our catalog are produced via a multistep purification process that results in very high titers and high purity. High titers increase transduction efficiency, while high purity reduces cytotoxicity, allowing you to successfully transduce a large number of different cell types—including primary, immortalized, adherent, and suspension cells—while retaining high cell viability.
