    Answer
    abm lentiviral transfer vectors use the third generation lentivirus system. It is based on the inactivated HIV genome. Note that our lentivirus packaging plasmids cannot be integrated into the host and are transiently expressed.

    Answer
    We recommend using abm’s 2nd Generation Packaging System Mix (Cat. No. LV003) or 3rd Generation Packaging System Mix (Cat. No. LV053). abm’s lentiviral vectors have been tested and are compatible with Invitrogen’s packaging mix; we have not tested other suppliers and cannot guarantee compatibility.

    Answer
    Higher MOI will provide more copies of the antibiotic resistance gene per cell. Cells containing multiple copies of the resistance gene can withstand higher antibiotic concentrations compared to those at lower MOIs. The concentration of antibiotic should be adjusted to a level that will cause selection for the desired population of transduced cells without going below the minimum antibiotic concentration you have established in your killing curve.

    Answer
    MOI (Multiplicity of Infection) refers to the number of viral particles per cell used in the infection, e.g. an MOI of 5 indicates that there are five infectious units (IU) or transducing units (TU) for every cell. MOI is determined by calculating the numbers of viral particles added per well then divide this number by the number of cells seeded into the well. We also recommend transducing the cells with a range of MOIs as different cell types may require different MOIs for successful transduction.

    MOI = Product Titer (IU/ml) x Virus Volume (ml) / Total Cell Number

    Answer
    The concentration must be optimized for each cell type.  Typical selection amounts are around 0.1 - 0.5µg per ml.

    Answer
    These are medium-high copy plasmids and should be propagated in a cloning E. coli strain such as DH5α. Typical yields from a 250ml culture is 300-500µg plasmid DNA.

    Answer
    MOI stands for multiplicity of infection. Theoretically, an MOI of 1 will provide 1 virus particle for each cell on a plate, while an MOI of 10 represents ten virus particles per cell. However, several factors can influence the optimal MOI including cell line, cell type, transduction efficiency and gene of interest. We recommend first establishing an optimal MOI for each cell line. This can be done using a range of MOIs (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 50) to determine the MOI required to obtain optimal gene expression
