Minicircles, EEVs and piggyBAC — Novel Gene Delivery Approaches that Synergize with Lentiviral-based Gene Delivery

While lentiviral gene delivery is widely used in basic research, non-integrating and non-viral gene delivery and expression methods are often a better choice. In this webinar, we will discuss minicircle (MC) and episomal expression vector (EEV) technologies – comparing and contrasting them with lentiviral methods. We will explain how each technology works, how to choose the right vector for your application, and how you can best achieve expression of your gene of interest (GOI) in your target cells.

We will also present the piggyBAC system for placing large-sized inserts (GOIs, cassettes) into the genome of a target cell.

In summary, we will cover:

  • How lentiviral, minicircle, and EEV gene delivery methods work
  • How to choose between these three technologies for your application
  • How to achieve gene delivery and expression with lentiviral, minicircle and gene expression products and services from SBI
  • piggyBAC as a powerful platform for stable placement of large GOIs/cassettes into the genome — SBI products leveraging the piggyBAC platform
