Lentiviral Vectors

Rapidly develop your own clinically relevant oncology tumor models with lentiviral vectors from Imanis – featuring the transgenes you need, the QC data to show it, and the scientific team to back it.

Ready-to-Use Lentiviral Vectors for Developing Stable Cell Lines

Imanis’s lentiviral vectors express transgenes that are well-suited for a range of oncology studies. Our reporter vectors encode fluorescent proteins or bright firefly luciferase, which is ideal for longitudinal studies tracking tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic efficacy in living animals. We also have lentiviral vectors that encode tumor antigens of interest, including BCMA, CD19, B7H3, and EGFR, which are popular targets for immunotherapies in particular.

Why Imanis Lentiviral Vectors?

Stable Transgene Expression

Efficiently delivered, highly expressed

  • Pseudotyped with VSV-G for efficient transduction across cell types and species
  • Integrated into cell genome for stable reporter expression
  • Engineered with strong promoters for robust gene expression

Relevant Transgenes

To accelerate in vitro and in vivo research

  • Reporter transgenes: Track tumors in vivo with bright firefly luciferase (Luc2) or monitor cells in vitro using Luc2 or fluorescent proteins
  • Tumor antigen transgenes: test targeted therapeutics in cells engineered to express relevant tumor antigens, like BCMA, CD19, B7H3, and EGFR

Reliable Performance

All our lentiviral vectors undergo rigorous quality control testing to ensure accurate titer, sterility, and robust transgene expression. To increase biosafety, all are self-inactivating.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Lentiviral Vectors

Using Imanis lentiviral vectors you can generate the tumor model cell line that is right for your specific research. Our reporter vectors enable you to engineer already established cell lines into stable reporter lines that are more easily tracked in in vitro and in vivo studies. And out tumor antigen vectors encode key target antigens for immunotherapy studies, so you can generate cell lines that express your target antigen of interest in a model you’ve already established for in vivo growth.

Our lentiviral vectors use the spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) promoter to drive transgene expression. Not only is the SFFV promoter highly and constitutively active in vitro, but it is not prone to silencing in mice, as can be observed with other strong promoters.

Our off-the-shelf lentiviral vectors are second generation self-inactivating vectors. We have the capability to produce custom third-generation lentiviral vectors upon request.

Lentiviral vectors are powerful tools for engineering immortalized cell lines because they stably integrate into the host cell genome. This means that transgenes are retained and replicated with the cells. They are also easy to use and highly efficient.
