A comprehensive custom Lentiviral-based Stable Cell Line Generation Service for genetically engineering sensitive cells, primary cells, stem cells and terminally differentiated cells. Lentivirus-based stable cell line generation offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative for generating stable cell line models for gene overexpression, inducible gene expression, gene knockout and gene knockdown.
- Broad tropism lentiviruses to target most mammalian cell types
- Non-integrating lentiviruses for CRISPR-lenti gene knockout
- Choice of selection markers: antibiotic resistance or GFP
- 3rd generation lentiviral systems for the highest biosafety standards
- Gene editing confirmed by NGS or RT-PCR
Cell Line Modifications:
- Knock-in Cell Line Generation: We offer 3rd generation lentiviral system for stable gene knock-in into multiple cell types from most mammalian species.
- CRISPR Knockout Cell Line Generation: We offer non-integrating lentiviruses (IDLVs) for CRISPR-lenti gene knockout or knock down modifications in hard-to-transfect cell lines.
Workflow includes:
- Cell line validation
- Generation of lentivirus; CRISPR vector construction and lentivirus packaging (if needed)
- Reagent validation
- Lentivirus transduction
- Clone screening and confirmation
- Cell expansion and cryopreservation
