Application: Ideal as a positive control for transduction; useful for transduction optimization.
Description: The Firefly Luciferase-eGFP Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. These viruses contain a firefly luciferase and eGFP cassette (Luc-P2A-eGFP) driven by a CMV promoter. Both the luciferase and eGFP are coexpressed under the CMV promoter in the transduced cells, allowing greater flexibility for detection of transduced cells.
Formulation: The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.
Storage Stability: Lentiviruses are shipped with dry ice. For long term storage, it is recommended to store the virus at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.
Supplied As: Two vials (500 µl x 2) of Firefly Luciferase-eGFP lentivirus at a titer ≥1 x 10^7 TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.
Warnings: Biosafety: of the HIV genes (gag, pol, rev) will be expressed in the transduced cells, as they are expressed from packaging plasmids lacking the packing signal. Although the pseudotyped lentiviruses are replication-incompetent, they require the use of a Biosafety Level 2 facility. BPS recommends following all local federal, state, and institutional regulations and using all appropriate safety precautions.
Biosafety Level: BSL-2
