293T (TU/ml) | CHO-SLAM (TU/ml) | Raji (TU/ml) | p24 (ng/ml) | |
H/F-LVs | 4.7E6 ± 4,5E6 | 4.1E 7 ± 2.9E7 | 6.7E7 ± 2.1E7 | 155 ± 67 |
VSV-G-LVs | 4.5E8 ± 1.8E8 | 8.4E7 ± 1.5E7 | 7.4E8 ± 1.1E7 | 182 ± 62 |
Supernatants of 293T producer cells were concentrated 100-fold by low-speed centrifugation. Titers for the 293T, CHO-SLAM, and Raji cells were assessed by adding serial dilutions of each vector preparation to the appropriate target cell. For each vector, the percentage of GFP+ cells was analyzed at day 3 posttransduction. Vectors were titered on 293T, CHO-SLAM, and Raji cells. Titers are expressed as mean transduction units (TU) per ml (n = 6). For the p24 cells, the titers are expressed as the p24 level (in ng/ml) determined by ELISA that represents a measure for the total physical particles present in the vector preparation.
