Control shrna

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

Control shRNA is a laboratory reagent used in gene silencing experiments. It functions as a non-targeting control, allowing researchers to assess the effects of the experimental shRNA on gene expression without the influence of target-specific knockdown.

Bcl2 shRNA and control shRNA were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Hairpin sequence of Bcl2 shRNA: GAT CCG TGT GGA TGA CTG AGT ACC TGA TTC AAG AGA TCA GGG ACT CAG TCA TCC ACA TTT TTG. Hairpin sequence of control shRNA: GAT CCG GAA CGG CAT CAA GGT GAA CTT CAA GA GAG TTC ACC TTG ATG CCG TTC TTT TTG. For pseudovirus production, Bcl2 shRNA or control shRNA was cotransfected into 293FT cells with a lentivirus packaging plasmid mixture (System Biosciences, CA, USA) using the NanoJuice transfection kit (EMD Chemical, Inc.) as described (25 (link)). After 48 h, the virus-containing media were harvested by centrifugation at 20 000 × g. H460 cells were infected with the virus-containing media in the presence of polybrene (8 μg/ml) for 24 h. Stable positive clones were selected using 1 μg/ml puromycin. Specific silencing of the targeted Bcl2 gene was confirmed by at least three independent experiments.

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.
