Production and harvest of feline immunodeficiency virus-based lentiviral vector from cells grown in T75 tissue-culture flasks.

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-based lentiviral vectors are useful for introducing integrated transgenes into nondividing human cells. This protocol describes the production and harvesting of vector from cells grown in T75 tissue-culture flasks. The methods are for production for basic science laboratory use and in vivo experimentation. They do not meet standards for clinical-grade (good manufacturing practice [GMP]) production.
