Retroviral vector systems
MMLV and MSCV-based retroviral systems are some of the most efficient methods for permanently delivering genes into dividing cells. Living Colors fluorescent retroviral vectors are available to express your protein as a fusion to one of several fluorescent proteins, or simultaneously with an IRES-linked fluorescent marker. For inducible expression in a Retro-X Q Vector, choose the retroviral tetracycline-inducible system.

RetroNectin—the gold-standard transduction enhancer for hematopoietic cells
RetroNectin reagent can improve viral transduction into suspension cells, hematopoietic stem cells, and other hard-to-transfect cell types by promoting colocalization of lentivirus or retrovirus with the target cells.
