Retroviruses are derived from Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo MLV), which can infect both human and mouse cells. The significant advantage of retroviral vectors is that they can convert single stranded RNA (ssRNA) genomes into ds DNA molecules for stable integration into the host genome. Retroviral vectors are suitable for dividing cells and other primitive cells. We can provide you with high-purity and high titer retroviruses.
