Features and Benefits

  • Lentiviral-based protein expression system, HIV backbone for high viral titers

  • Pluripotency factors expressed from constitutive EF1α promoter

  • Reliable delivery to dividing or non-dividing cells

  • Monitor positive expressing cells with co-expressed RFP

  • All proteins are N-terminal HA-tagged

  • Convenient sorting of transfected or transduced cells

  • Create stable cell lines

  • Monitor positive cells with RFP

  • All 6 iPSC factors expression-validated

                      

Transfection Data

Protein expression Western Blot Data

 

The piPSC constructs can be used in transient transfection experiments (shown above) or can be used to package lentiviral particles. The particles can then be used to transduce any cell type to create stable cell lines permanently expressing the iPSC protein of interest. Examples of VSV-g pseudotyped lentiviral transductions are shown below.

Details of the Lentiviral Delivery System:

  • Express iPSC protein factors in target cells through transfection (plasmid form) or transduction (packaged constructs).

  • Simple packaging into pseudoviral particles with SBI’s pPACK Lentivector Packaging System (see: http://www.systembio.com/pPACK.htm)

  • Deliver piPSC expression constructs into wide range of cell lines including non-dividing or difficult-to-transfect cell lines with biologically-safe and high-titer enabled HIV-based lentivector.

  • RNA polymerase II driven expression of iPSC protein factors offers high level of expression from single copy of insert.
