RetroNectin treatment for colocalization of virus and target cells

Box: RetroNectin treatment for colocalization of virus and target cells

Taken from: Use of a lentivirus/VSV pseudotype virus for highly efficient genetic redirection of human peripheral blood lymphocytes

Published in: Nature Protocols

"RetroNectin may be used to facilitate colocalization of virus and target cells. This is particularly important for retrovirus transduction but can generally be omitted when using Lentivirus/VSV pseudotyped virus. It is included here should readers elect to use retroviruses for rapidly dividing cell targets." (Quoted from the box)
