Firefly Luciferase-eGFP Lentivirus (G418)-79980-G
BPS Bioscience
DESCRIPTION
The Firefly Luciferase-eGFP Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. These viruses contain a firefly luciferase and eGFP cassette (Luc-P2A-eGFP) driven by a CMV promoter. Both the luciferase and eGFP are coexpressed under the CMV promoter in the transduced cells, allowing greater flexibility for detection of transduced cells.
DETAILS
- Notes: License Disclosure: Visit bpsbioscience.com/license for the label license and other key information about this product.
- Species: Replication incompetent HIV
- Shiptemp: -80°C (dry ice)
- Synonyms: pseudotyped lentivirus, pseudovirus, pseudovirion, 79980-G, 79980-P
- Warnings: Biosafety: None of the HIV genes (gag, pol, rev) will be expressed in the transduced cells, as they are expressed from packaging plasmids lacking the packing signal. Although the pseudotyped lentiviruses are replication-incompetent, they require the use of a Biosafety Level 2 facility. BPS recommends following all local federal, state, and institutional regulations and using all appropriate safety precautions.
