The Viral Vector core is shared between Versiti Blood Research Institute and the Medical College of Wisconsin. Viral vectors systems used by the core include those based on lentivirus, retrovirus, adenovirus and adeno-associated virus. This core provides services in the areas of viral vector design, viral vector gene silencing and protein expression, including viral vector construction, viral vector amplification, viral vector purification and viral vector titration.

Additional services include viral vector cloning, viral vector mutagenesis and plasmid DNA preparation. For access to these resources via iLabs, please request a consultation under the “Request Services” and “Viral Vectors” tabs.
