Control non targeting shrna vector

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Control non-targeting shRNA vector is a laboratory tool used for gene knockdown studies. It contains a non-targeting short hairpin RNA (shRNA) sequence that does not target any known gene. This vector can be used as a control to assess the effects of shRNA-mediated gene silencing in experimental settings.

Silencing ICK in HCT-8 Cells

The MISSION TRC ICK shRNA Target Set and the control non-targeting shRNA vector were obtained from Sigma, as described in [10] (link). Lentivector particles were generated in HEK293T cells as described in [10] (link), [11] (link). Exponentially growing HCT-8 cells at about 50–60% confluence were infected with lentiviruses expressing either the ICK shRNA or the control shRNA for overnight (12–14 hr) before change of medium. Twenty four hours after infection, cells were plated at about 6–8×105 cells/ml in 10 cm dishes and grown for three to four days in the presence of 5 µg/ml puromycin. Infected cells were harvested for either determination of viable cell number and apoptosis or for protein extraction.

Human insulin was from Lilly USA (Indianapolis, IN, USA). Calyculin A was from Calbiochem (distributed through MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA, USA). All synthetic polypeptides were from ABI Scientific (Sterling, VA, USA). The MISSION TRC ICK shRNA Target Set and the control non-targeting shRNA vector were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA), as described in [28 (link)]. GST-ICK WT (wild type) and K33M (kinase dead) in pEBG-GST were described previously in [29 (link), 30 (link)]. HA-GSK3β WT, S9A, and K85A in pCDNA3 (Addgene plasmids #14753, #14754, and #14755) were gifts from Dr. Jim Woodgett [14 (link)] through Addgene (Cambridge, MA, USA). HA-GSK3β T7A and T8A mutants were generated using the QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit from Stratagene (San Diego, CA, USA) and confirmed by DNA sequencing at DNA Sciences Core, University of Virginia.

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.
