Retroviral Packaging Cell Lines Retroviral Packaging Cell Lines

Features & Benefits

  • Efficiently produce recombinant retroviruses
  • Infect a variety of cells
  • Quickly obtain high viral titers

Description

The Retro-X Universal Packaging System, featuring the GP2-293 packaging cell line, allows you to cater the tropism of the packaged virus to your target cell line. The envelope protein of your choice is cotransfected with your retroviral expression vector resulting in high titers of amphotropic, ecotropic, dualtropic or pantropic virions.

RetroPack PT67 is an NIH/3T3-based packaging cell line that expresses the 10A1 viral envelope. Virus packaged from PT67 cells can be used to infect a broad range of mammalian cells because the virus is able to enter cells via two different receptors. The RetroPack Cell Line is included in both the Retroviral Tet Systems and the Retro-X System.

EcoPack 2 293 is an ecotropic packaging cell line. It is HEK 293-based, easy to transfect and produces high-titer virus that can efficiently infect a broad range of mouse and rat cells.

AmphoPack 293 can be used to produce recombinant retrovirus that infects a broad range of mammalian cells. AmphoPack 293 is derived from an HEK 293-based cell line that is easily transfected, and produces virus in titers that can exceed 10^6 cfu/ml.
