Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study, we developed a new purification method using chondroitin sulfate C (CSC) and protamine sulfate (PS) to concentrate lentivirus. To evaluate the efficiency of this new method, we compared it with several previously described purification protocols, including virus concentrated by ultracentrifugation (Ultra), precipitated by polyethylene glycol (PEG), and sedimented by CSC combined with polybrene (PB). After using the different methods to purify and concentrate equivalent amounts of lentivirus supernatant, the virus pellets precipitated by the different methods were resuspended using the equivalent volumes of DMEM. Subsequently, 10 μl of each lentivirus stock carrying EGFP gene was used to transduce two types of cells, human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells and mouse mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC). It was obvious that HEK293T and mMSC appeared much intensiver green fluorescence through virus transduction from PS method than from other methods. To quantitate the transduction efficiency of the viruses, we examined virus titer in the cells after transduction using a real-time PCR-based analysis. Accordingly, we verified that PS precipitation could generate virus with a higher titer (4.39 × 10 IU/ml) than PB (2.43 × 10 IU/ml), Ultra (1.16 × 10 IU/ml), and PEG (0.56 × 10 IU/ml) in HEK293T cells. As for HEK293T cells in mMSC, the PS method also generated virus with a higher titer (4.66 × 10 IU/ml) than the Ultra method (2.36 × 10 IU/ml), and a much higher titer than those of the other chemical-based precipitation methods using PB (4.82 × 10 IU/ml) and PEG (8.98 × 10 IU/ml). Furthermore, the HEK293T cells and mMSC transduced by PS(1X)-virus appeared to have higher cell growth ratios, respectively, than the HEK293T cells and mMSC transduced by lentivirus using the other methods. We conclude that our new method for purifying lentivirus is cost-effective, time-saving, and highly efficient, and that lentivirus purification by this means could possibly be used to transduce a variety of cells, including stem cells.
