          We offer a large catalog of plasmid vectors containing marker genes, cytokines, and polylinkers.  Click here to see the catalog.  
             
 

We also have a large catalog of stock recombinant viral vectors.  We have vectors for transient expression of reporter genes (such as GFP or lacZ) or other specific genes .  We also have several types of vectors for long-term expression of reporter genes: lentiviral, retroviral, and AAVClick here to learn more about the differences in these viral vectors. The Vector Core also offers several siRNA vectors (both adenoviral and lentiviral); email Tom Lanigan, Ph.D., with your specific questions.

             
         

The Vector Core can also provide larger scale manufacturing of recombinant viral vectors ( up to x10^15).  We can manufacture an existing virus you are currently using, or we can help you design and manufacture a viral vector with the characteristics you need.  Give us a call at (734) 764-5201 or email Tom Lanigan, Ph.D., at lanigant@umich.edu for more information and a price quote.

 
             
         

For researchers who simply want results without having to worry about handling viral vectors, the Vector Core can produce cells expressing your transgene of interest.  You will receive cells expressing your transgene with none of the hassle of viral production or purification. Please contact Tom Lanigan for more information: lanigant@umich.edu or (734) 764-5201
