Human ROR1 Lentivirus, Full-length Gene in Lentivector, Pre-packaged Lentiviral Particles
ROR1 (receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1), also known as NTRKR1 (neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor-related 1), is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the ROR subfamily of the tyrosine protein kinase family. The ROR subfamily members, ROR1 and ROR2, are tyrosine kinase receptors important in regulating skeletal and neuronal development, cell migration and cell polarity. Each ROR member contains 1 FZ (frizzled) domain, 1 Ig (immunoglobulin)-like C2-type domain, and 1 kringle domain in the extracellular region and 1 protein kinase domain in the cytoplasmic region. ROR1 is highly expressed during early embryonic development but expressed at very low levels in adult tissues. Increased expression of this gene is associated with various hematological malignancies of both lymphoid and myeloid origins as well as in melanoma. ROR1 is a pseudokinase that lacks catalytic activity and may interact with the non-canonical Wnt signalling pathway. ROR1 modulates neurite growth in the central nervous system. ROR1 may play a role in the survival of melanoma cells and regulate EMT and tumor metastasis.
Gene Symbol: NTRKR1; dJ537F10.1
NCBI Gene ID: 4919
Uniprot Entry: Q01973
Construct Details: Full length human ROR1 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.
Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:
(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;
(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’
Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification. High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
Formulation: Lentivector encoded and pre-packaged viral particles (typical titer 106 - 107 IFU/ml) in the conditional medium (serum-free) from HEK293 cells that have been transfected with the lentivector gene clone and the LentiPAK DNA mix

Pre-packaged lentiviral particles are most advanced gene delivery tools. Each particles contain a fully sequence verified target gene and are psudotyped with the VSV-G glycoprotein, ready for transduction into into a wide range of cell types including hard-to-transfect primary cells and non-dividing cells. They are supplied in 1-mL aliquot(s) of the serum-/antibiotic-free solution suitable for both in vitro and in vivo delivery. They are produced in HEK293 packaging cells with a typical titer of ≥107 IFU/ml using our optimized LentPAKTM packaging system. The lentiviral particles can be used to transduce subconfluent target cells. Depending on your purpose, you may choose a specific multiplicity of infection (MOI) or test a range of MOIs to determine which gives you the desired results. Transduction can be enhanced by the addition of polybrene, also known as hexadimethrine bromide (typically at 8-10 μg/ml).
Quick Protocol for Transduction
Day 1. Seeding Target Cells
For an example, plate target cells in a 10 cm plate at a density of 1 - 5x 105 cells/ml that will produce approximately 60% confluency in 24 hours.
Note: other size plates can also be used depending on the nature of your experiment. Adjust the reagent amount according to Table 1
Table 1. Seeding Density of Target Cells (1 day prior to transduction)
Vessel Type |
Seeding Density |
Volume of Media |
10-cm dish |
1 – 5 x 106 |
10 mL |
6-well plate |
0.3 – 1 x 106 |
2 mL/well |
12-well plate |
0.15 – 0.5 x 106 |
1 mL/well |
24-well plate |
0.6 – 2 x 105 |
0.5 mL/well |
96-well plate |
1 – 4 x 104 |
0.1 mL/well |
Day 2. Transduction
Remove the growth media from the dish/plate prepared the day before. Replace with 1/2 volume of culture medium containing desired amount of lentiviral particles (at 2 to 20 MOI). For example, add 4.5 mL of growth medium and 0.5 mL of Lentiviral particles, or simply add 5 mL of Lentiviral particles (for a low titer viral preparation or a high MOI transduction). Add polybrene directly to the media on the target cells at 8 μg/ml. Mix by gentle swirling.
Incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 4 - 24 hours, then replace the transduction medium with right amount of growth medium according to table 1 (for example 10 mL for 10-cm dish). Culture the cells for 48 – 72 hours, and transduced cells are ready for downstream analyses.
Note: Adjust volumes accordingly for transduction of other plate types. For example, add 1 ml of growth medium and lentiviral particle mixture for 6-well plate, 0.5 ml for 12-well and 0.25 mL for 24-well except for 96 well, in which 100 μl should be used. The change of transduction medium is often unnecessary with our pre-packaged lentiviral particles. Simply culture cells for 3-4 days before analysis.
The virus-containing media can be changed in as short as 4 hours after transduction if toxicity of the lentiviral transduction is a concern. Normally reverse transcription and genome integration of the lentivector takes place within 24-36 hours. With our ready-to-use, prepackaged lentiviral particles, the change of media is often unnecessary. The transduction process can be ongoing for 2 - 6 days without significant impact on cell growth/viability. The transduction process can also be repeated if desired. For a lentivector with a fluorescent reporter (such as GFP), FACS can be used to enrich for cells that express GFP. If it contains a drug selectable marker, follow the protocol for the particular drug. For example, puromycin selection is usually carried out at 1-10 μg/mL, depending on the target cells’ sensitivity
