ViraSafe™ Lentiviral Expression System (Hygro), Pantropic

Lentivirus based on HiV-1 provides a powerful means for gene expression because It can Infect both dividing and non-dividing cells. Other 3rd generation lentiviral packaging systems provide a reduced risk of replication-competent virus, but a small risk remains. Our ViraSafe Lentivirus Expression Complete Systems provide a safer method even compared to other 3rd generation expression systems. Overlap with native HiV genes has been reduced much further, thereby substantially reducing the chance of generating replication-competent virus. The system has been engineered so that lentiviral titers remain at the levels of third generation systems. The Pantropic Expression Systems assemble VSVG-pseudotyped lentiviruses which can easily Infect virtually any cells regardless of their species of origin.
