Get tight, titratable gene expression
With SBI’s SparQ™ Cumate Switch System, you can get inducible gene expression in mammalian cells with a range of cloning and expression lentivectors. The pCDH-CuO-MCS SparQ™ Cloning and Expression Lentivector maximizes your flexibility with only an MCS downstream of the cumate switch promoter—clone-in your gene of interest and the 3’ elements of your choice.
With SBI’s SparQ™ Cumate Switch System, you can get inducible gene expression in mammalian cells through the binding of cumate, a non-toxic small molecule, to CymR. CymR can be delivered to cells on its own lentivector (Cat.#s QM200PA/VA-2 and QM300PA/VA-1), or on the same lentivector as your gene-of-interest (Cat.#s QM800A-1 and QM812B-1). Expression levels of your gene-of-interest are tightly controlled and increase with increasing cumate concentration until maximum induction is reached—see as much as a 32-fold increase in gene expression. Even better, induction is reversible, so you can turn expression levels on and off. Delivering negligible background expression in the absence of cumate, the SparQ System is an excellent choice for achieving controlled levels of gene expression.

How It Works
How It Works
Tightly-controlled, inducible gene expression
SBI’s SparQ Cumate Switch System delivers robust, titratable gene expression with low background through three components:
- Cumate, a non-toxic, small-molecule inducer
- CymR, a repressor that binds to cumate operator sequences in the absence of cumate
- SparQ Lentivector that contains an MCS to clone-in your gene-of-interest, the cumate inducible promoter with cumate operator sequences (CuO) upstream of the MCS, and one or more markers
CymR has a high binding affinity for cumate and, as more cumate is added, fewer CymR molecules bind to the CuO sequences in the promoter resulting in increased expression. Exhibiting much lower background expression than similar systems, SBI’s cumate-inducible vectors can provide up to 32-fold induction of gene expression.
