| Short Description | |
| Long Description | HEK293T/CD4 is a human cell line that can be transfected with plasmid DNA at high efficiency. that has been shown to increase vector productipn of some viral vectors. It is commonly used for produciton of retroviral, lentiviral and other viral vectors using the transient transfection method. The cell line has been modified to express the CD4 antigen on the cell surface, antigen is predicted to be expressed on the surface of vector particles released by the cell during vector production. Selected clones were further enriched by sorting. |
