title: Generation of HIV-1-based lentiviral vector particles.
abstract: This unit presents protocols outlining the methodology and techniques involved in the construction and application of HIV-1-based lentiviral vector systems. Also described are procedures that can be used to concentrate and purify high-titer recombinant lentiviral vector preparations, as well as protocols for transduction of adherent and suspension cells.
