Transduction and titration of lentiviral supernatant
| Materials | |
|---|---|
| DMEM + 10% CS | |
| Puromycin (stock solution 5 mg/ml) |
Procedure
- 1x104 293T cells are seeded in a 24-well plate ~12 h before transduction (5 wells)
- 1µl, 2µl or 5µl, respectively, of the virus-concentrate are added on top of the cells, 2 wells remain untreated
- incubation over night at 37°C and 5% CO2
- 24 h after transduction the medium is replaced by 1 ml fresh medium containing 10% CS and 0,4 µg/ml puromycin (one of the wells harbouring untransduced cells will not be treated with puromycin)
- after 4-5 days the cell number is defined and the viral titer (viral particles / µl) is calculated by counting still viable cells
