In focus: packaging and producer cell lines

Abstract

Lentiviral vectors are often a popular choice for transient transfection; however, they can be expensive, difficult to reproduce at larger scales and can result in contamination of the lentiviral preparation. Packaging and producer cell lines for lentiviral production offers an attractive alternative for this. In our latest In Focus feature, produced in association with OXGENE, we bring you expert insights into the advantages that packaging and producer cell lines have, including what applications would be most appropriate for their use.
