The Lenti-X 293T Cell Line is a subclone of the transformed human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK 293, which is highly transfectable and supports high levels of viral protein expression. When transfected with Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots and a lentiviral vector, these cells are capable of producing lentiviral titers as high as >108 ifu/ml, as determined by flow cytometry. The cell line also constitutively expresses the simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen.
