Lenti-X SARS-CoV-2 Packaging Single Shots enable streamlined, high-titer production of lentiviral particles pseudotyped with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; simply add water containing your transfer vector of choice to a tube of single shots and then apply the reconstituted transfection mix to packaging cells in a 10-cm dish. For your convenience, Lenti-X SARS-CoV-2 packaging mixes are sold separately or bundled with ZsGreen1, luciferase transfer vectors, and negative control packaging reagents.

Separate Lenti-X packaging mixes are available for production of pseudovirus bearing full-length or truncated forms of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant D614G. The truncation involves removal of 19 amino acids encoding an ER retention signal on the protein C-terminus, and is associated with increased abundance of spike protein on the resulting particles, and increased particle infectivity (Johnson et al. 2020).
High-performance packaging system consistently yields high titers: avoid spending time optimizing reagents, focus on your downstream assays
Convenient single shots format minimizes hands-on time and likelihood of errors: simply add water containing a transfer plasmid of choice and apply to packaging cells
Packaging mixes sold separately or as bundles: conserve resources, purchase only what you need
Controls provided for neutralization assays: use the included packaging mix for production of lentiviral particles lacking an envelope protein
Additional packaging mixes available for different SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants:B.1.351, Wuhan-Hu-1
