Retrovirus / lentivirus infection protocol" W- v; R' x4 q/ b
D1: Seed HEK293T cells in 10cm dish (cell density should be ~80% confluency right before transfection)

*** For retrovirus, you may need to repeat the infection for three times; for lentivirus, one time infection is enough in most of the cases.
