In the middle of 2016 Addgene started distributing a small but growing catalog of ready-made AAV and Lentiviral preps. This new Viral Service represents Addgene’s largest new initiative since we started distributing plasmids in 2004. We’ve already distributed over 500 viral ...
If you are interested in using lentiviral vectors to introduce your favourite gene into your favourite cell line or into primary cells, this blog article will give you some tips to plan your experiment using the lentiviral vector system. Viral vectors have been increasingly ...
Numbers in the large colored circles are rough approximations of the total number of CRISPR plasmids for that particular organism available at Addgene. Percentages represent the fraction of that total with the indicated function. One huge reason CRISPR has become such a popular ...
Instead of spending time and money producing virus from select vectors in the repository yourself, you can now order ready-to-use virus directly from Addgene! As part of our new Viral Service, we’re distributing lentivirus (with many CRISPR tools included among the preps that ...
An estimated 320,000 viruses can infect mammals. Even more abundant are the Earth’s estimated 1031 bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), many of which are doing important work in our microbiomes. Given that viruses are everywhere and doing everything, it can be annoying ...
Lentiviral vectors are one of the most popular and useful viral vectors in the lab. Advantages of lentivirus include a large genetic capacity and the ability to transduce both dividing and non-dividing cells. Lentiviral vectors are the vector of choice for many CRISPR ...
Lentiviruses are a powerful laboratory tool often employed to establish cell lines that stably express a gene of interest. While the general approach for using lentivirus, infect and select, seems simple, in actuality, many find using lentivirus to be time consuming, difficult, ...
The day has arrived; you’ve painstakingly cared for your packaging cell line, prepped your DNA, transfected and harvested your lentivirus. Now it’s time to move ahead with your infection and make your stable cell line. While we’ve all experienced the pressure to move a project ...
