pLentilox 3.7 GFPrHIVProviral plasmid used in shRNA construction in which shRNA expression is driven through a U6 promoter. GFP marker contained in the vector is expressed through a separate CMV promoter downstream of the U6-siRNA expression cassette. This allows simultaneous expression of both shRNA and fluorescent marker. GFP is co-integrated into host cell genome with shRNA which allows for convenient tracking of viral uptake in the cell and selection through fluorescent visualization.
pLentilox 3.7 dsRedrHIVProviral plasmid used in shRNA construction in which shRNA expression is driven through a U6 promoter. The dsRed marker contained in the vector is expressed through a separate CMV promoter downstream of the U6-siRNA expression cassette. This allows simultaneous expression of both shRNA and selectable marker. dsRed is co-integrated into host cell genome with shRNA which allows for convenient tracking of viral uptake in the cell and selection through fluorescent visualization.
pLentilox 3.7 PurorHIVPro-viral plasmid used in shRNA construction containing a puromycin selectable marker.
