SBI’s double-promoter pFIV-H1/U6 siRNA Cloning and Expression Vectors allows you to clone and express natural double-stranded siRNA constructs, as opposed to hairpin-type siRNA (also known as shRNA) constructs. Short double-stranded siRNA template oligonucleotides are less expensive and more stable during propagation than hairpin shRNA templates.

In the pFIV-H1/U6 siRNA Vectors, the expression cassette is flanked by opposing H1 and U6 RNA Polymerase III modified promoters and T5 terminator sequences. Successfully cloned siRNA template oligonucleotides are transcribed in both the forward and reverse directions, by the opposing promoters, to express double-stranded siRNA—similar to the structure of naturally occurring siRNA molecules.

After transduction, positive clones that are stably expressing the siRNA can be isolated by sorting with a flow cytometer (when using pFIV-H1/U6-copGFP) or selecting for puromycin resistance (for pFIV-H1/U6-Puro).
