Can I use other transfection reagents, such as PEI (polyethylenimine), in the AAV-MAX Helper-Free AAV Production System?

The AAV-MAX Transfection Reagent, AAV-MAX Tranfection Booster, and AAV-MAX Enhancer are specifically designed to work synergistically with the Viral Production Medium and Viral Production Cells 2.0 to provide maximum titers. Mixing and matching of reagents is not recommended, as this will decrease the overall performance.

Will I see a drop in adeno-associated virus (AAV) titer if I don't use the AAV-MAX Enhancer with the AAV-MAX Helper-Free AAV Production System?

The AAV-MAX Enhancer is important for boosting AAV production. If the enhancer is not used, it will reduce system performance by 50% or more.

What is the optimal incubation time for the plasmid DNA/AAV-MAX Transfection Reagent/AAV-MAX Transfection Booster complex?

We recommend a complexation time of 20-30 mins. We recommend optimizing the complexation time for different sized plasmids.

Do I need to supplement the Viral Production Medium prior to use?

Yes, prior to using the Viral Production Medium, it should be supplemented with 4 mM GlutaMAX Supplement.

Can I use Viral Production Cells (Cat. No. A35347, A35827) with the AAV MAX Helper-Free AAV Production System?

The Viral Production Cells 2.0 are specifically designed to work with the other components of the AAV MAX Helper-Free AAV Production System to provide maximal adeno-associated virus (AAV) titers. Viral Production Cells could be used but we don't recommend doing this as it will reduce system performance.

What is the highest density that Viral Production Cells 2.0 can be cultured at?

The Viral Production Cells 2.0 achieve maximum cell densities of >1.2 x 10E7 cells/mL in shake flask cultures.

What is the passage stability of the Viral Production Cells 2.0?

We recommend using the Viral Production Cells 2.0 between passages 3 to 25 for adeno-associated virus (AAV) production.

How long do the Viral Production Cells 2.0 require to recover post-thaw before transfection?

We recommend allowing freshly thawed Viral Production Cells 2.0 to recover in culture for at least three passages prior to transfection.

Are the Viral Production Cells 2.0 a clonal cell line?

Yes, the Viral Production Cells 2.0 cells are a clonal cell line derived from single cell cloning of 293-F cells.
