What are CFU?
CFU (colony forming units) determine the virus' ability to transduce cells and express protein. Cells harboring integrated proviral DNA and carrying an antibiotic resistance gene survive the presence of the drug and form cell colonies. Lentiviral titer in CFU/ml is determined by counting drug-resistant cell colonies.
