shRNA Library Clone (in stock)

The Vector Core currently stocks all pGipZ V2L and a few other lentiviral miRNA/shRNA clones, including some pGipZ V3L. The customer will receive a 60 mm streaked plate of each clone.

shRNA Library Clone (NOT in stock)

Non-stock lentiviral clones (e.g., pGipZ V3L, pLKO.1, pTripZ, etc.) will be purchased on request. The purchase price will be split evenly between the Vector Core and the investigator, and an additional $40 service fee will apply to each order.

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.).

* Information on ordering shRNA Library Clones, as well as the order form for shRNA services, can be found on the Instructions and Forms page (under shRNA).
** Discounts may be available for members of Centers that support the Vector Core (Cancer - 25%; GI Peptide - 50%).
*** We prefer tester samples be submitted with exactly 2.5 μg/1.5 ml microfuge tube.

Lentiviral shRNA Library Clones


The pGipZ Library: University of Michigan only has a partial license for Open Biosystems' lentiviral pGipZ library which includes all the V2L clones (see Oligo ID #) and a handful of V3L clones.

In-Stock Clones:
We have all the pGipZ clones covered under the original license (see below to identify these clones). In addition, we have a small but growing list of lentiviral shRNA clones from the pGipZ (V3L), pLKO.1 and pTripZ libraries. At this time we do not have a searchable database listing the random pGipZ (V3L), pLKO.1 and pTripZ library clones. We will cross reference all these orders to what we have in stock. This product comes as a bacterial streaked plate.
pGipZ clones covered under the original license: We have all human pGipZ clones up to plate 0750 and all mouse clones up to plate 0629. Search clones at Open Biosystems. For plate location, click Oligo ID to view details about clone, find location followed by a number, ex. 172_0410-B-8 (see graphic below). The set of four digits highlighted in yellow indicate the plate number.

Non-Stock Clones:
For all lentiviral shRNA constructs not in-stock: We offer a cost-sharing service where we will order the constructs for the customer at 50% of cost, plus a $40 handling fee. The library clones that qualify are pGipZ V3Ls, pLKO.1, and pTripZ. The product comes as a bacterial aliquot or a streaked plate of the  desired clone.

Available Libraries:
pGipZ, pTripZ and pLKO.1 (original library) available at Open Biosystems
pLKO.1 (expanded library) available at Sigma
