Infection procedure | Titer (CFU/ml)

|
---|---|---|
HIV-GPR (LGFPRNL) | MLV-GPR (LZRNL) | |
GPR-VSV complex onto HT1080 cells | 1.2 × 105 | 6.9 × 105 |
1.4 × 105 | 4.0 × 105 | |
GPR particles onto VSV-G-treated HT1080 cells | 7.8 × 104 | 3.8 × 105 |
9.0 × 104 | 9.8 × 104 | |
GPR particles onto untreated cells followed by VSV-G addition | 1.1 × 105 | 4.0 × 105 |
8.2 × 104 | 2.4 × 105 |
All infections were carried out in duplicate in the presence of Polybrene (8 μg/ml), using identical amounts of GPR particle preparations. Complexes of GPR particles with VSV-G and treatment of cells with VSV-G were performed as described in the text.
