Pmxs stat3c

Manufactured by Addgene
Sourced in United States

The PMXs-STAT3C is a lentiviral vector that expresses a constitutively active form of the STAT3 transcription factor. STAT3 is a key regulator of cellular processes such as cell growth, survival, and differentiation. The PMXs-STAT3C vector can be used for the overexpression of active STAT3 in target cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The open reading frame (ORF) of the dominant-active STAT3 mutant (STAT3 (A661C/N663C); STAT3-CA) and BCL-2 were PCR-amplified using the plasmids pMXs-STAT3-C (plasmid #13373) and 3336 pcDNA3 Bcl-2 (plasmid #8768) deposited in Addgene (Cambridge, MA, USA) as the template, respectively. BCL-xL ORF was PCR-amplified from the cDNA pool of HCT 116, a human colorectal carcinoma cell line. All PCR-amplified ORFs were first TA-cloned into the pGEM-Teasy vector (Promega; Madison, WI, USA) for sequence validation. The BCL-2 ORF was later subcloned to the pBabe.puro vector (Plasmid #1764) (Addgene; Cambridge, MA, USA) at the EcoRI restriction site and orientation confirmed, whereas the ORFs of STAT3-CA and BCL-xL were directionally subcloned to the pBabe-HA vector, a pBabe.puro vector engineered to encode an in-frame N-terminal hemagglutinin (HA) epitope. The accession-numbers of STAT3, BCL-2 and BCL-xL mRNA are NM_139276, NM_000633, and NM_138578, respectively.

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.
