Lentiviral shRNA tester samples (5 × 3 ml of supernatant).

Tester samples are a "quick and dirty" product tailored toward screening several shRNA products. Each 3 ml tester prep requires 2.5 μg of purified proviral plasmid DNA. The cost is for a set of five. However, if you do not have 5 constructs, multiple 3 ml preps of the same construct can be performed (2 of one construct and 3 of another, etc.).

Description

Lenti-GFP

rHIV

Reporter vector that allows experimental model infection conditions to be optimized through a GFP marker. Expression is driven from a CMV promoter. The proviral plasmid is pLLEV-GFP.

Lenti-Luc

rHIV

Reporter vector expressing a luciferase marker to allow experimental model gene transfer optimization. Expression driven from a CMV promoter. The proviral plasmid is pLLEV-Luc.

Lenti-RSV-GFP

rHIV

Model control for pLL3.7 dsRed in which RSV promoter (empty) used to drive expression of trans-gene. The GFP marker contained in the vector is expressed through a separate CMV promoter downstream of the RSV expression cassette. The proviral plasmid is pLL RSV-GFP.

Lenti 3.7 dsRED

rHIV

Model control for pLL3.7 dsRed in which U6 promoter (empty) was used to drive expression of shRNA. The dsRed marker contained in the vector is expressed through a separate CMV promoter downstream of the U6-siRNA expression cassette. The proviral plasmid is pLL 3.7-dsRED.

Lenti-pGipZ scrambled control

rHIV

Model control for pGipZ constructs containing an shRNAmir. The construct has a CMV promoter with GFP-IRES-Puro-shRNAmir expression cassette. The proviral plasmid is pGipZ scrambled control (non-silencing). The non-silencing shRNAmir sequence is expressed under the control of the CMV promoter and contains no homology to known mammalian genes.

pLentilox 3.7 GFP

rHIV

Proviral plasmid used in shRNA construction in which shRNA expression is driven through a U6 promoter. GFP marker contained in the vector is expressed through a separate CMV promoter downstream of the U6-siRNA expression cassette. This allows simultaneous expression of both shRNA and fluorescent marker. GFP is co-integrated into host cell genome with shRNA which allows for convenient tracking of viral uptake in the cell and selection through fluorescent visualization.

pLentilox 3.7 dsRed

rHIV

Proviral plasmid used in shRNA construction in which shRNA expression is driven through a U6 promoter. The dsRed marker contained in the vector is expressed through a separate CMV promoter downstream of the U6-siRNA expression cassette. This allows simultaneous expression of both shRNA and selectable marker. dsRed is co-integrated into host cell genome with shRNA which allows for convenient tracking of viral uptake in the cell and selection through fluorescent visualization.

pLentilox 3.7 Puro

rHIV

Pro-viral plasmid used in shRNA construction containing a puromycin selectable marker. U6 promoter is upstream of CMV-Puromycin expression cassette for simultaneous production of shRNA and selectable marker. Puromycin co-integrates into host cells genome which allows for convenient, stable selection.

pLentilox RSV GFP

rHIV

Transgene expression of this proviral plasmid is driven by an RSV promoter. Vector also contains separate expression cassette for GFP marker utilizing a CMV promoter. GFP is co-integrated into host cell genome and allows for convenient tracking of viral uptake in the cell and selection through fluorescent visualization.

pLentilox RSV2dsRed

rHIV

Transgene expression of this proviral plasmid is driven by an RSV promoter. Vector also contains separate expression cassette for dsRed marker utilizing a CMV promoter. dsRed is co-integrated into host cell genome and allows for convenient tracking of viral uptake in the cell and selection through fluorescent visualization.

pLentilox RSV puro

rHIV

Transgene expression of this pro-viral plasmid is driven by an RSV promoter. Vector also contains separate expression cassette for puro marker utilizing a CMV promoter. Puro is co-integrated into host cell genome and allows for convenient tracking of viral uptake in the cell and puromycin selection.

pLentilox IRES GFP

rHIV

Proviral plasmid containing a bicistronic element to express both a transgene and GFP marker driven by one CMV promoter through the use of an IRES element. IRES elements tend not to be as strong as typical promoter expression cassettes and therefore could result in a weaker GFP signal.

pLentilox IRES Puro

rHIV

Proviral plasmid containing a bicistronic element to express both a transgene and a puromycin selectable marker driven by one CMV promoter through the use of an IRES element. IRES elements tend not to be as strong as typical promoter expression cassettes and therefore could result in a weaker puromycin response.
