产品简介：
pRetroX-IRES-DsRedExpress is a bicistronic, fl uorescent, retroviral vector that allows both a gene of interest and the DsRed-Express gene to be translated a single bicistronic mRNA. pRetroX-IRES-DsRedExpress is designed for effi cient delivery and selection (by fl ow cytometry or other methods) of stably transduced mammalian cells expressing the DsRed-Express fl uorescent protein and the protein of interest. This vector can be used to obtain stable cell lines without time-consuming drug and clonal selection. DsRed-Express is a rapidly maturing variant of Discosoma sp. red fl uorescent protein (DsRed) and is easily detected with standard Rhodamine/propidium iodide fi lter sets (1).
Bicistronic expression this vector is facilitated by the encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES). This IRES facilitates cap-independent translation an internal start site at the IRES/DsRed-Express junction (2). DsRed-Express contains nine amino acid substitutions that enhance its solubility, reduce its green emission, and accelerate its maturation (3). This retroviral vector is derived the pMIN series of vectors (4, 5). These optimized vectors have the ability to produce high viral titers, express genes at high levels, and, due to the absence of retroviral coding sequences, exhibit improved safety profi les. The multiple cloning site (MCS) in pRetroX-IRES-DsRedExpress is between the 5’ MMLV LTR and the IRES sequence. Genes cloned into the MCS are expressed as a bicistronic message transcribed the 5’ LTR.
pRetroX-IRES-DsRedExpress contains all of the necessary viral RNA processing elements; these include the 5’ and 3’ LTRs, the packaging signal (ψ), and the tRNA primer-binding site. For safety reasons, however, the vector lacks the structural genes (gag, pol, and env) necessary for retroviral particle formation and replication. pRetroX-IRES-DsRedExpress contains a ColE1 origin of replication, and an E. coli Ampr gene for propagation and selection in bacteria.
