In the Methods section under subheading ‘Lentiviral vector production’,

“These were transiently transfected with a “transfection mix” of 1.5 µg plasmid DNA per 106 cells using 25 kDa branched polyethylenimine (PEI) (Sigma) at an N:P ratio (ratio of moles of amine groups of cationic polymers to moles of phosphate groups of DNA) of 15:1”

should read:
