  • Stably express any miRNA
  • Create stable cell lines
  • Choice of HIV & FIV vectors with fluorescent protein markers

HIV-based lentivectors

Description

Vector Maps

High levels of microRNA precursor expression from CMV promoter. The multiple cloning site (MCS) located downstream of a CMV promoter allows for convenient cloning of your microRNA presursor of interest. The SV40 polyadenylation signal in both vectors enables efficient termination of transcription, resulting in high levels of steady-state expression. Downstream of your expression cassette is an EF1 promoter driving the expression of either the Puro, copGFP or RFP marker genes.

FIV-based lentivectors

 
Description

Vector Maps

Express native microRNAs with the CMV promoter in target cells through transfection (plasmid form) or transduction (packaged constructs).
—Multiple Cloning Site (MCS: for cloning the gene of interest in MCS located downstream of the WPRE element.
—Polycistronic expression cassette includes copGFP fluorescent reporter and Zeocin resistance marker on the same transcript as the miRNA to enable tracking and selecting cells expressing the miRNA.
