pVPack Vectors INSTRUCTION MANUAL introduces pVPack Vectors products' materials, storage conditions, and usage methods.
The document is an instruction manual for the Agilent pVPack vector system, which consists of five specific plasmid vectors designed for efficient delivery of genes into cultured cells. The kit includes a gag-pol-expressing vector and four different envelope (env)-expressing vectors to target various cell types.
The manual details the materials provided in the kit, storage conditions at -20°C, and lists additional reagents required for transfection and viral RNA isolation. It outlines a standard protocol for producing retrovirus via transient triple-transfection over four days, including steps for preparing cells, transfecting HEK293 or 293T cells, and transducing target cells.
| Storage Temperature | -20°C |
|---|---|
| Minimum Titer Achievable | > 10^7 cfu/ml |
They are used for in vitro research to produce high-titer retroviral supernatants capable of infecting a wide range of cell types.
The manual recommends using HEK293 cells or 293T cells for the production process.
