pCL-10A1 Retrovirus Packaging Vector

A: When co-transfecting/transducing pCL-10A1 with a pCLX/N expression vector in the acell line, pCL-10A1 will produce retrovial Gag, Pol, and Env proteins for packing the pCLX/N-expressed viral RNA genome.  [pCLX/N expression vectors have both Amp and Neo genes for growing in E.coli and stably transfection in a mammalian cell line, respectively]

A key feature for appropriate packaging into viral protein shells is the packaging signal(s)  UR5 on the viral RNA genome, which is derived from one of pCLX/N expression vectors. Check the nucleotide sequence(s) for the packaging signal(s) on your plasmid and compare to established UR5 sequence(s) to asses the likelihood of co-transduction experiments using pCL-10A1 and your vector successfully producing infectious virions.

A: The pCL-10A1 Retrovirus Packaging Vector NBP2-29542 does not actually contain the retrovirus. The vector is just the DNA plasmid.

A: These vectors, while also sold separately, are components of the RetroMax system 10040K. The vectors are designed to be used as described in the 10040K manual. Yes, you are correct, pCL-ECO is for mouse and rat, and not for human. We have not evaluated the Retromax system with the MIG.R and VSV-g vectors, and can not promise they would be compatible with your vectors. The Retromax packaging vectors are designed to be used with the expression vectors in the Retromax Kit. However, the packaging vectors are widely published and you may be able to find some information in the literature relevant to your model system (search scholar.google.com and keywords with Retromax and vector name, or keys words with packaging vector name and expression vector name ).
