Methods and Reagents


The viral vector core (VVC) is located in the Whitehead Research Building 5th on the Emory University campus. The VVC is open to all Emory and non-Emory researchers. The mission of the Viral Vector Core is to pave the way for gene delivery. The Viral Vector Core is focused on high-titer, high-throughput production of Lentiviral vectors and recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV) to deliver and express interested genes in either dividing or non-dividing mammalian cells, primary culture andin vivo. The core has become an important technological resource for all investigators.

The specific objectives of the viral vector are to:

  1. Provide 2nd and 3rd generation lentiviral vector
  2. Provide rAAV serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, PHP.eb and 2/rh10 vectors
  3. Provide lenti-CRISPR and AAV-CRISPR vectors
  4. Provide assistance in the design the viral vectors

Available Vectors

**Not all vector maps have been fully sequenced! The Viral Vector Core encourages all investigators to confirm their vector maps before initiating experimentation.

  • Lenti-CRISPR
  • AAV-CRISPR
  • CRISPR library against human and mouse genome
