UCSF Diabetes/Sandler Center Lentiviral Core

provides essential equipment, training, supervision, and monitoring of investigators wishing to ensure the proper compliance with biosafety containment required for lentiviral-based research. It also provides several services (outlined below) for investigators located within the Sandler Center, Diabetes Center, and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. Currently, these services are free. It is the objective of the Core to facilitate research studies of investigators by fostering a multidisciplinary interaction between UCSF investigators. The Core will provide a limited set of lentiviral vectors and maps, and it is anticipated that the on-site shRNA library will expand as more users donate their vectors for use within the UCSF community. Please see our homepage for more information.

Currently we provide the following services:

  • RNA interference advice
  • Viral packaging
  • Virus concentration viral titering
