TransIT-VirusGEN®Transfection Reagent

Ideal for Recombinant Adeno-associated Virus and Lentivirus Production

TransIT-VirusGEN® Transfection Reagent is designed to enhance delivery of packaging and transfer vectors to adherent and suspension HEK 293 cell types to increase recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentivirus production.

• Reliable – Consistent high virus titer production
• Scalable – Efficient across different formats
• Flexible – Compatible with different recombinant virus and cell culture systems
• Animal Origin Free – High performance with maximum compatibility

TransIT-VirusGEN® Outperforms Competitor Reagents in Suspension and Adherent Lentivirus Cell Cultures. Suspension FreeStyle™ 293-F cells grown in FreeStyle™ F17 Medium (A) or adherent 293T/17 cells (B) were transfected with pLKO.1-puro-CMV-TurboGFP™ transfer vector and the Lentivirus Packaging Mix powered by MISSION® (1:1 ratio, 1 µg/ml)  with the following reagents: TransIT-VirusGEN® (3:1, vol:wt), Lipofectamine® 2000 (2:1 (A) or 3:1 (B), ThermoFisher), Lipofectamine® 3000 (2:2:1 (A) or 3:3:1 (B), Thermo Fisher) or 25 kDa PEI (4:1, Polysciences). The supernatant was harvested, filtered (0.45 µm), and titered using 293T/17 cells. Lentivirus transductions were performed in the presence of 8 µg/ml TransduceIT™ and GFP expression was measured 72 hours post-transduction using guava easyCyte™ 5HT Flow Cytometer. Functional titers were measured from virus dilutions with less than 20% GFP positive cells. The error bars represent the standard deviation of triplicate wells.
