General description

The MISSION TRC3 ORF BFP Control Vector is a lentivirus plasmid vector. The vector contains an ORF insert expressing BFP, and is useful as a positive (or negative control) in experiments using the MISSION TRC3 LentiORF Library Collection in arrayed or pooled format, including our latest Whole Genome LentiORF Pool. This positive control can be used for measuring transduction efficiency and optimizing ORF delivery in cell lines that do not survive any puromycin exposure. The BFP Control contains a gene encoding BFP driven by the EF1a promoter. This control provides fast visual confirmation of successful transduction. 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 MISSION TRC3 ORF BFP Control Vector is provided as 10 µg of plasmid DNA in Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer at a concentration of 500 ng/µl.
