Cell Biolabs Inc Platinum-GP Retroviral Packaging Cell Line, Pantropic
Supplier: Cell Biolabs Inc RV103

The Platinum-GP (Plat-GP) Cell Line, a potent retrovirus packaging cell line based on the 293T cell line, was generated using novel packaging constructs with an EF1a promoter to ensure longer stability and high-yield retroviral structure protein expression. Plat-GP cells stably express the gag and pol genes, allowing retroviral packaging with transfection of two plasmids: a cloning vector containing the gene of interest, and a vector coding for an envelope protein such as VSVG. Plat-GP cells can be kept in good condition in for at least 4 months in the presence of drug selection, and can produce retroviruses with an average titer of 1 x 10^7 infectious units/mL by transient transfection. In addition, replication competent retroviruses are virtually nonexistent because only coding sequences of viral structural genes are used. Pantropic virus pseudotyped with VSVG can readily infect cells of any species. FOR SALE TO ACADEMIC, GOVERNMENT AND NON-PROFIT LABS ONLY.
