2. Resource Description

   "The development of retroviral delivery systems for mammalian cells has greatly enhanced the ability of scientists to deliver genetic material to cells of diverse origin in order to study the role of a particular protein or network of proteins in a specific cell type or biological process. The goal of the retrovirus production unit is to assist Cancer Center members with the preparation of high-titer retrovirus (e.g. lentivirus). The centralization of such services provides economy of scale, high-throughput production, increased biosafety, and quality control in the virus preparation process. The Facility provides a variety of services including prepackaged vector preparations, custom vector packaging, and vector titrations. The Protein Expression Facility’s work with recombinant retrovirus DNA is registered with the Wistar Institute IBC (approval #: 21102382, exp. 3/2014)"
