LentiBOOST™ - Sirion Biotech

LentiBOOST™

LentiBOOST™ is a highly effective, non-cytotoxic chemical lentiviral transduction enhancer for preclinical and clinical applications. As universal acting (receptor independent) adjuvant it can be applied to a wide range of clinically relevant cell types including CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), primary T cells and NK cells. These unique features make it a promising candidate to improve clinical transduction protocols for ex vivo gene therapies and CAR-T cell therapies.
