Lentiviral transduction of hematopoietic cells

Summary

Most hematopoietic cells, including hematopoietic stem cells and terminally differentiated cells such as primary T cells and macrophages, are undifferentiated or self-renewed slowly.

self-renewal is slow. For these cells, most non-viral or retroviral transfection methods are not feasible. Lentiviral vectors are suitable for transfection of undifferentiated cells and for long-lasting maintenance of transgene expression. Lentiviral vectors with various genes have successfully transfected many hematopoietic cells. Lentiviral vectors can be used for many reproduction manipulations such as short hairpin R N A (sh R N A ) and long-lasting expression of functional genes. They will also have great potential in gene therapy.

Methods

Generation of lentiviral vectors: packaging of vectors
I. 293T cells were grown in complete medium, 37°C oven, 5 % C O 2 . Twenty-four hours prior to transfection, exponentially growing 293T cells were inoculated in Io o m m dishes at a density of 4 X 106 cells/plate. The cell density at the time of transfection was approximately 80%.

2- Prepare I m l of phospho-D N A suspension per IOOm m plate of cells as follows:

a- Prepare two sterile tubes labeled Tube〗 and Tube 2 for each transfected plate.

b- Add 0. 5m l 2 X H B S to tube 1 .

c. Add TE 79/10 to tube 2. The volume of TE 79/10 is equal to 440W minus the volume of DNA solution.

d - Add 15/xg of transfer vector containing the transgene, 15ugpCgp, 5ugpCMV-rew, and 5ugpCMV-G, to Tube 2 and mix well.

e- Add 60ul of 2mol/LCaCl2 to tube 2 and mix well.

f- Add liquid from tube 2 to tube 1 drop by drop and mix lightly.

g . Incubate at room temperature for 30 min.

3- Suction beating or vortexing to mix the precipitate.

10- Discard the supernatant and resuspend the precipitate in an appropriate amount of medium, e.g., if 100-fold concentration is required, 300 ul of medium should be added to 30 ml of the original solution.

1 1 . Dispense the concentrated vector in 10 to 154 portions and store at 80°C.
