abstract：:For clinical trials, large amounts of high-titer retroviral supernatants are required. However, retroviral concentration is relatively low compared with other viral vectors. Moreover, less than half of retroviral vectors suspended in a collected supernatant are infectious because of their short half-lives. In this stu...
