Producing and concentrating lenti-Cre for mouse infections

Cold Spring Harb Protoc. 2014 Mar 1;2014(3):304-6. doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot073437.

Abstract

Lentiviral vectors offer versatility as vehicles for gene delivery. They can transduce a wide range of cell types and integrate into the host genome, which results in long-term expression of the transgene (Cre) both in vitro and in vivo. This protocol describes how lentiviral particles are produced, purified, and concentrated.
