Pcdna5 frt to vector backbone

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The PcDNA5/FRT/TO vector backbone is a plasmid vector designed for controlled gene expression in mammalian cell lines. It contains an FRT site for Flp recombinase-mediated integration and a tetracycline-regulated promoter system for inducible transgene expression.

Molecular cloning was performed as previously described (Moyer et al., 2015 (link)). All constructs were cloned into a pcDNA5/FRT/TO vector backbone (Life Technologies) and expressed from a CMV promoter. DNA constructs for Drosophila S2 transfection were cloned into a pAc vector backbone (Invitrogen).

Stable Transgenic HEK Cell Line Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA from HEK cells was isolated using the DirectZol RNA MiniPrep Kit (Zymo) according to the manufacturer's protocol. cDNA was generated using SuperScript II Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and coding regions of RPS27A without the N‐terminal ubiquitin sequence was PCR amplified and cloned into a pcDNA5/FRT/TO vector backbone (Invitrogen) that had been previously modified to have a constitutive CMV promoter and C‐terminal SBP‐tag.
To generate stable transgenic cell lines, 1 × 106 HEK Flp‐In T‐Rex Cells (Invitrogen) were electroporated using a Lonza 4D Nucleofector in according to the Amaxa 4D‐Nucleofector™ Protocol for HEK293 (Lonza) for large cuvettes with 1.8 μg pOG44 Flp‐Recombinase Expression Vector (Invitrogen) and 0.2 μg pCMV‐RPS27A‐SBP. Two days after electroporation, cells were passaged and placed on media containing 5 μg·mL−1 blasticidin (Invitrogen) and 10 μg·mL−1 Hygromycin B (Thermo Fisher Scientific) until all cells from a control plate electroporated with pmaxGFP™ Vector (Lonza) were dead. Flp‐In cell lines were validated using anti‐SBP westerns and Sanger sequencing of the transgenic insert.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
