Is it possible to transduce rodent primary cells with lentiviral constructs for stable expression of a protein of interest?
We would like to express a protein in mouse or rat primary neurons, either in a stable or inducible way. Are there any suppliers that provide ready-to-go lentiviral vectors for rodents?

You can always plan to do the same with a wide variety of suppliers present world wide.

It depends on your experimental mindset whether you would prefer to package your own viral particles using lentiviral packaging systems
I would personally recommend 3-4 suppliers listed below.

1) ABM Inc, USA. Www.abmgood.com (Cost effective and chance of getting a ready viral particle is high)

2) Origene Technologies Inc,
They have retroviral 2nd generation MMLV backbone vectors that can be packaged using a 2nd generation packaging system. Expression ready and validated.

3)Open Biosystems, Lafayette
Lentiviral backbone with 3rd generation vector plasmid. Trans lentiviral packaging system along with the clone.

4) creative biogene(www.creative-biogene.com),
Using an innovative platform "CLPS" (Creative Lentiviral Packaging System),Price is their greatest advantage, and the service quality is not worse than the above three companies

Hope the information helps you.
