Pcag cre gfp vector

Manufactured by Addgene

The PCAG-Cre:GFP vector is a plasmid used for the expression of Cre recombinase and green fluorescent protein (GFP) in mammalian cells. The vector contains the Cre recombinase gene under the control of a CAG promoter, and the GFP gene is expressed as a separate transcript. This vector can be used to study Cre-mediated recombination events and track the expression of Cre in cells.

Patient-derived iPSC colonies were pretreated with 10 μM Y27632 for 2 h prior to electroporation. Cells were then washed once with dPBS and dissociated into single cells using TrypLETM Select (Gibco). iPSC cells (5 × 105) were electroporated with 2 μg Cas9, 2 μg sgRNA expression vector, and 4 μg donor plasmids using a NeonR electroporator (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) as previously described10 (link). Transfected cells were plated onto a Matrigel-coated plate with 10 μM Y27632 for 2 days. G418 (100 μg/mL) was added to the culture medium 2 days after electroporation. After 12–14 days of G418 selection, half of the surviving colonies were manually lifted and lysed for genotype as described previously9 (link). Correctly targeted colonies were dissociated into single cells and reseeded for expansion and further analysis. To generate single cell-derived correctly targeted iPSCs, we performed an additional three rounds of single colony passaging with G418 selection. After three rounds of single colony passaging and G418 selection, the correctly targeted cell lines underwent excision from the neomycin resistance cassette. We electroporated 2 μg pCAG-Cre:GFP vector (Addgene #13776) into 5 × 105 iPSCs and performed clonal selection without a selection drug.

Pdpn-Cre:GFP Transgenic Mouse

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 1.3 kb Pdpn upstream regulatory genomic region was inserted between the SalI-EcoRI sites of the pCAG-Cre:GFP vector (Addgene). The Cre:GFP cassette was inserted before the first Pdpn exon. To eliminate plasmid sequences, a 4.8 kb PdpnCre:GFP fragment was isolated by SalI-PstI digestion. This fragment was microinjected into fertilized FVB eggs (Friend Virus B NIH Jackson). The generated transgenic lines were backcrossed into the NMRI background. All of the mouse experiments were approved by the Northwestern University Animal Care and Use Committee. This strain will be available to the research community upon request.

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.
