TCR Activator Lentivirus (CMV Promoter/Puromycin)
BPS Bioscience
DESCRIPTION
The TCR Activator Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a gene for a membrane-bound, engineered T cell receptor (TCR) activator driven by a CMV promoter or an EF1a promoter. After transduction, the expression of TCR activator can be monitored in the target cells.
DETAILS
- Shiptemp: -80°C (dry ice)
- Warnings: 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.
