Abstract:The aim was to develop a cell culture system capable of producing high titer lentiviral vector stocks with recombinant vaccinia viruses as helpers. BHK21 was co-transfected by three main plasmids containing the transducing plasmid pVECRNA, the packaging plasmid pGAGPOL and the envelop plasmid pVSVG, and thereafter infected with the vaccinia vTF-3 containing bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase gene using Lipofectamine2000TM. After 4 days incubation, the culture supernatant of lentiviral vectors was collected and judged by RT_PCR and the Western blot,the results showed that lentiviral vectors were found in the culture supernatant; approximately (11.71±0.80)×1011 copies of lentiviral vector RNA were present per mL of cell culture supernatant, as detected by Real_time PCR; the vector stocks with titers was up to(1.3±0.18)×108 tu/mL, as detected by flow cytometry , which is one order of magnitude higher than the output of classical manufacture system. These results suggest that the new poxviral/lentiviral hybrid system for efficient lentiviral vector production was initially established .It provides the basis for the future development of industrial application.
