General description: | Sigma® is proud to offer IPTG-inducible vectors as the latest development from our continued partnership in TRC. The pLKO vector has been redesigned to contain a LacI (repressor) and a modified human U6 shRNA promoter with LacO (operator) sequences. In the absence of IPTG (isopropyl-Β-D-thio-galac We are proud to offer two different IPTG inducible vectors for your research. The preferred inducible vector, pLKO_IPTG_3xLacO, contains three lac operon sequences (two in the U6 promoter and one 3′ of the promoter) affording both tight regulation and great gene silencing. Whereas, the pLKO_IPTG_1xLacO vector contains a single lac operon sequence in the U6 promoter, which allows for an advantage to shRNA expression, but looser control of the promoter when not induced. The MISSION® 3X LacO Inducible Non-Target shRNA Control is a lentivirus plasmid vector. The vector contains an shRNA insert that does not target any known genes, making it useful as a negative control in experiments using the MISSION inducible shRNA library clones. This allows one to examine the effect of transfection of a short-hairpin on gene expression and interpret the knockdown effect seen with shRNA clones. Ampicillin and puromycin antibiotic resistance genes provide selection in bacterial or mammalian cells respectively. In addition, self-inactivating replication incompetent viral particles can be produced in packaging cells (HEK293T) by co-transfection with compatible packaging plasmids. The 1X LacO Inducible Non-Target shRNA Control is provided as 10 μg of plasmid DNA in Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer at a concentration of 500 ng/μl. |
