    Answer
    The lentivirus should be aliquoted into smaller working volumes and then stored at -80°C. Lentivirus is sensitive to storage temperature and to freeze/thaws. It can lose up to 5% or more activity with each freeze/thaw. When stored properly, viral stocks of an appropriate titer should be suitable for use for up to one year. After long-term storage, we recommend re-titering your viral stocks before use.

    Answer
    Higher MOI will provide more copies of the antibiotic resistance gene per cell. Cells containing multiple copies of the resistance gene can withstand higher antibiotic concentrations compared to those at lower MOIs. The concentration of antibiotic should be adjusted to a level that will cause selection for the desired population of transduced cells without going below the minimum antibiotic concentration you have established in your killing curve.

    Answer
    MOI (Multiplicity of Infection) refers to the number of viral particles per cell used in the infection, e.g. an MOI of 5 indicates that there are five infectious units (IU) or transducing units (TU) for every cell. MOI is determined by calculating the numbers of viral particles added per well then divide this number by the number of cells seeded into the well. We also recommend transducing the cells with a range of MOIs as different cell types may require different MOIs for successful transduction.

    MOI = Product Titer (IU/ml) x Virus Volume (ml) / Total Cell Number

    Answer
    abm's lentiviral vectors are compatible with 2nd and 3rd generation packaging systems. We recommend abm’s Second Generation Packaging Mix (Cat. No. LV003) for users who want to achieve higher titer lentivirus as only 3 plasmids are required for virus production instead of 4 plasmids.  We also recommend abm’s Third Generation Packaging Mix (Cat. No. LV053) for users concerned with virus biosafety, as the viral packaging elements are further split into 4 plasmids thus reducing probably of producing wild type virus.

    Please note, only packaging mixes produced by abm have been tested in house and therefore carry our guarantee for high titer virus production. If it is desirable to use other packaging plasmids obtained from a different source, the compatibility must be tested and determined by the end user.

    Answer
    Since lentivirus is an RNA virus, during the synthesis of the RNA genome to be packaged, if there is a polyadenylation signal in the insert, the RNA will be terminated prematurely. There is a SV40 poly(A) signal in the vector located downstream of the 3'LTR. It is designed this way to ensure a high amount of transcriptional RNA is present so that a high viral titer is obtained. We have received positive feedback from previous customers in regards to the high and stable expression levels of our lentivectors.

    Asked on Mar 24 2025
    Answer
    siRNA and shRNA achieve the same goal of silencing gene expression by cleaving the target miRNA. However, their differences are as follows:

    1. siRNA (small interfering RNA) is a linear sequence that binds to the target mRNA and cleaves it, preventing the unwanted protein from being made
    2. shRNA (short hairpin RNA) is a DNA construct encoding a sequence of single stranded RNA and its complement, separated by a stuffer fragment, allowing the RNA molecule to fold back on itself, creating a hairpin loop.
    3. Traditionally, siRNA is made synthetically and introduced into the cells resulting in rapid, short term effect. shRNA is cloned into a vector and then introduced into the cell's genome, which can prolong expression.
    4. shRNA poses a difficulty on amplification and sequencing and thus it is not easy to construct. abm has come up with a novel technology where we combined the ability to clone siRNA into a vector, but with the same effect as shRNA. With the help of a dual convergent promoter vector system, the sense and antisense strands of the siRNA are expressed by two different promoters rather than in a hairpin loop, which thus avoids any possible recombination events that can occur. The siRNA sequence is expressed in both directions, and therefore mimicks the actions of shRNA.

    Answer
    MOI stands for multiplicity of infection. Theoretically, an MOI of 1 will provide 1 virus particle for each cell on a plate, while an MOI of 10 represents ten virus particles per cell. However, several factors can influence the optimal MOI including cell line, cell type, transduction efficiency and gene of interest. We recommend first establishing an optimal MOI for each cell line. This can be done using a range of MOIs (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 50) to determine the MOI required to obtain optimal gene expression

    1. Use a sterile loop or pipette tip to scrape a small amount of cells from the agar stab. Only a tiny amount is needed as it contains live E. coli.
    2. Gently streak the cells onto an agar plate containing the correct antibiotic selection in order to achieve single isolated colonies.
    3. Place the plate “agar side up” and incubate at 37°C overnight.
    4. Select a single colony from the plate for downstream applications, such as an overnight broth culture and grow E. coli to late exponential-early stationary phase. 4a. The broth culture can be subjected to miniprep plasmid extraction. We recommend using abm’s Column-Pure Plasmid Miniprep Kit (Cat. No. G4003). 4b. The broth culture can be used to prepare a glycerol stock for long-term storage. Mix culture with sterile glycerol to a final concentration of 15% and store at -80°C.

    Answer
    We recommend first checking the following parameters:
    1. Cell density. If density is too low, this can also result in cell death.
    We recommend the following experiments:
    Initial Experiment
    •Transduce lentivirus into the 293T cell line - one of the easiest cell lines to transduce. If the transduced cells survive selection, then troubleshooting should focus on post-virus production steps. If the transduced cells didn't survive selection, the troubleshooting should focus on virus packaging steps.
    Virus Packaging Troubleshooting
    •Attempt lentivirus packaging using a GFP expressing control vector. If packaging is successful with the control, then repeat packing of the lentivirus in question with a GFP batch control to ensure no errors with the first production. If no GFP signal is observed after transfection or ~72h after a test transduction of a GFP control lentivirus on 293T cells, then the packaging process needs to be assessed.  Packaging process assessment includes reagent quality, cell health, and packaging protocol details.
    Post-Virus Production Troubleshooting
    •Assess if the correct antibiotic concentration is used. This can be done by performing a drug-killing curve. To set up a drug-killing curve, we recommend using the same culture size and seeding density for your actual selection, and adding a different puromycin concentration to each sample, with the range between 0-1 ug/ml. If the cells are not killed at the 1ug/ml, you may try increasing the range higher concentrations. It is important to identify the concentration that results in >95% cell death in 1-4 days to establish the minimal concentration to use for the selection process.
    •Assess if the correct MOI is used to transduce the target cells. This can be done by using a GFP control lentivirus to transduce the target cells at a range around literature-recommended MOIs to determine the optimal MOI for transduction.
    •Assess if a transduction enhancer such as the ViralEntry Transduction Enhancer (Cat.No. G515) is necessary. Some cell lines are more difficult to transduce than others and by using a transduction enhancer can lead to increased target cell permeability.

    Answer
    1. This often happens to primary cells which are very sensitive to culture medium conditions. Try to use a higher titer virus in order to limit the volume of exogenous media added to your cells.
    2. Virus preparation might be contaminated with bacteria. Use a 0.25µm syringe filter to clear the virus preparation and repeat transduction following strict sterile technique.
    3. Cell line might be contaminated with mycoplasm. This type of contamination is often not immediately obvious. The contamination effect is amplified after virus transduction. Repeat transduction with fresh cells.
    4. The virus preparation may contain some cell debris which could be mistaken as a change in cell morphology. Normally this issue will disappear 3-5 days after virus transduction.

    Answer
    There could many possible reasons for this result.
    1. Typically GFP is behind a weaker promoter such as SV40 or CBH leading to a less robust fluorescence signal.
    2. Virus titer is low leading to only a small proportion of successfully transduced cells. Try increasing the MOI or using a transduction enhancer such as abm’s ViralEntry™ (Cat.No. G516). 3. Target cells are difficult to transduce. A higher MOI must be tested. Some cells are very easy to be transduced such as 293T, while others such as lymphocytes are very difficult.
    4. Lentivirus became inactivated during transportation and storage. Lentivirus is very sensitive to temperature changes. Leaving lentivirus at room temperature, 4°C for 48 hours, or subjecting it to multiple freeze/thaws can lead to inactivation or reduced titer.
    ABM Scientific Support
    Answered on Mar 24 2025
    Answer
    Transfection of cell lines such as 293T can achieve very high efficiency – near 100%. Thus it is possible to achieve good siRNA gene knock down via transfection. However, you will not have a stable cell line. With lentivirus, you will need to establish a stable cell line where 100% of the cells express the siRNA. Without a pure stable cell line, you will not see efficient gene knock down effects.

    AAV serotypes have different tropisms (preferred target tissues/cell types), so selecting the right serotype can significantly improve transduction efficiency. In general:
    Because transduction efficiency can vary by model system, promoter, dose, and delivery route, we recommend customers consult publications using the same target cell type/tissue and testing more than one serotype when possible.

    Answer
    • Verify plasmid quality: Confirm the plasmid is intact, at sufficient concentration, and free of contaminants (e.g., salts, ethanol, nucleases).

    • Check the host strain: Use a suitable cloning strain (e.g., recA⁻/endA⁻ such as DH5α) and confirm cells are competent and not expired.

    • Confirm selection conditions: Make sure the correct antibiotic is used at the proper concentration and that plates/media are fresh.

    • Review transformation conditions: Ensure the transformation method (chemical or electrocompetent) and recovery time are appropriate.

    • Assess plasmid compatibility: Large, low-copy, toxic, or unstable plasmids may require specialized strains or growth conditions.

    • Inspect growth conditions: Verify incubation temperature, shaking speed, and culture time.

    • Check plasmid sequence/features: Look for toxic genes, strong promoters, or repeats that may reduce stability.
