The USC School of Pharmacy Lentiviral Laboratory provides services for production of small-scale lentiviral stocks for delivery and expression of transgenes or shRNA of interest. The engineered lentiviral constructs are either provided by the end-users or produced in the lab according to the needs of the customers. We also help in stable cell line generation and characterization.
The Vector Core provides researchers with state of the art technology, facilities, support staff and services and a broad range of resources. Services include: assistance in the design and construction viral vectors and viral particles for gene-modified in vitro/in vivo studies. The core also provides consulting services to identify researcher gene transfer needs, determine the best way to produce gene-modified cells, and to assist in experimental troubleshooting. Equipment includes: Hollow fiber tangential flow filtration (TFF) columns (Spectrum Labs) to filter and concentrate lentiviral vectors up to 100 fold with high recovery (>90%).
