Subconfluent CaCo-2 and DGBE cells were infected with murine retrovirus LNCeGFP, first-generation lentivirus pRtatpeGFP, and third-generation lentivirus pRRLcmveGFPsin. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. All viral vectors transduced target cells efficiently. Mean fluorescence levels are similar in DGBE cells, and pRtatpeGFP mediates higher expression levels in CaCo-2 cells.
