Abstract excerpt
Genetic modification of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is highly valuable for their exploitation in basic science and therapeutic applications. Here we developed lentiviral vectors (LVs) constitutively expressing a reporter and a selectable marker to enable high and homogeneous transgene expression within polyclonal hESCs. LVs carrying GFP and a downstream puromycin resistance gene, linked by the...
