GIGA-Viral vectors
You need to express a specific protein in your cells of interest ?
You need to inhibit or KO specific protein expression in your target cells ?
The GIGA-Viral Vectors platform can help you !
Viral vector plasmid design
The most important step in viral vector production is the proper design of your vector.
Maxiprep
In order to produce viral vectors, high quality plasmids are needed. Our platform offers a maxiprep service as well as plasmid transformation into bacteria.
Production of viral vectors
This service includes viral vector production, concentration and titration.
Cell transductions
This service includes cell transduction, cell selection and tests of the supernatant regarding the absence of replication competent virus and mycoplasma.
BSL2/BSL3 training
The GIGA center has 6 BSL2 and one BLS3 laboratories as well as A2 and A3.
CRISPR CAS9
CRISPR-Cas9 is an RNA guided genome editing system, which can be used for gene disruption, gene knock-out, gene mutations and controlled gene insertion.
