ALERT SOFTWARE INTERLOCK (SASSAFRAS KEYSERVER) MAINTENANCE
Begin: Tuesday, April 30, 2024, 08:00 PM (MST)
End: Tuesday, April 30, 2024, 10:00 PM (MST)
During this period, the Sassafras keyserver will be undergoing maintenance. Software interlocks won't be accessible during this time. Hardware interlocks should remain unaffected.
We recommend blocking out scheduled reservations during this time.
Please submit a ServiceNow request to Request a Service - Service Portal (service-now.com) if you have any questions or concerns.
(hide this warning on this page)The University of Arizona Viral Production Core facility offers services for the generation of high-titer AAV, Adenoviral and Lentiviral particles. We provide a full cloning service for the generation of plasmids of interest, a high quality purification of viral particles and analysis of specific viral properties. Recombinant viruses are powerful tools that can be used to overexpress, silence, or edit genes. Exceptional features of Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) allow for generating effective disease models and studying unique gene functions and genotype-phenotype relationships in various animal models. Lentivirus vectors used for the in vitro transduction of nearly all cell types, including difficult-to-transfect cells. Adenoviruses are the most effective and promising tool for gene therapy.
