Is a lentiviral titer of 106 too low?

0

We have optimized our viral production and this titer gives excellent integration efficiency in cultured cells. You may be more familiar with adenovirus, which titers at a range around 109. Lentivirus, however, has many advantages over adenovirus such as stable integration and ability to transduce primary and non-dividing cells, etc. If there are applications that require you to use higher titer virus, the highly stable VSV-G envelope allows concentration of lentiviral particle via ultracentrifugation.
