Contributors
We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the consumable products and testing services these fine organizations have donated to the Lentiviral Vector Reference Material (LVV-RM) Project.

This reference material will be used by organizations that are developing lentiviruses for use in gene and cellular therapies to help qualify, or validate, their internal reference material and assays.

Data developed and compared to the LVV-RM will provide tremendous value to the organization developing a product, as well as FDA CBER, which can use the LVV-RM to compare product submissions.
