Paav mcs vector

Manufactured by Cell Biolabs
Sourced in United States

The PAAV-MCS vector is a plasmid-based vector designed for the expression of recombinant proteins in mammalian cell lines. It features a multiple cloning site (MCS) which allows for the insertion of a gene of interest. The vector also contains an adenovirus-derived promoter (PTV) which drives the expression of the inserted gene.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adenovirus 5 carrying shRNA against mouse-MUL1 (AAV-shR-MUL1) was generated at the Emory virus core facility. The shR-MUL1 (5′-GAGCTGTGCGGTCTGTTAA -3′) was synthetized and subcloned into a pAAV-U6-GFP expression vector (Cell Biolabs). The eGFP cDNA was used as a control after sub-cloning into pAAV-MCS vector (Cell Biolabs). The full length of mouse VPS35-D620N cDNA was sub-cloned into the pAAV -EGFP-T2A-V5 vector (Vector Biolabs). Infected 293 cells from 25 to 50 15-cm tissue culture plates were collected and centrifuged. Then the cells were lysed by three freeze–thaw cycles. The AAV virus was purified using the iodixanol gradient centrifugation procedure and the virus titers were measured by real-time PCR. For stereotaxic injection, 1.5 μl viral solution (1 × 1012 vg/ml) was injected into the right ventral midbrain (anterior, −2.8 mm; lateral, −1.3mm; dorsal, −4.2 mm relative to bregma) with a 30-gauge microsyringe at a rate of 0.5 μl/min.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The AAV-DJ/8 Helper Free Promoterless Expression System (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA) was applied to construct AAV vector. The pAAV-cfos-NLuc-ACC plasmid (unpublished) was constructed by Professor Zhou Lab (UAB, USA). The blue luminescence-emitting Nanoluciferase (NLuc) reporter gene cloned from pNL-CMV-NLuc (Promega #N1091) and synthesized ACC genes (unpublished), total of ~3.9 kb, were inserted into the pAAV-MCS vector (Cell Biolabs). The plasmid pAAV-CMV-eYFP was constructed by cloning CMV promoter cloned from pcDNA3.1-PsChR2-eYFP (Addgene #69057) [20 (link); 21 (link)] and eYFP reporter gene from pcDNA3.1-PsChR2-eYFP, totoal of 1.1 kb, into the pAAV-MCS. The PCR primers are NLuc-forward: 5’- ACTCACTATAGGGAGACCCACACCATGGTCTTCACACTCG-3’, NLuc-reverse: 5’- TGCCTGATCCCGCCAGAATGCGTTCGCAC-3’, eYFP forward: 5’-GGTAGTAGCAATGCTAGTGAGCAAGGGC-3’, and eYFP reverse: 5’-ACCTTCGAACCGCGGGCCCTCTAGATTACTTGTACAGCTCGTCC-3’. The pHelper plasmid and pAAV-DJ/8 Rep-Cap plasmid (Cell Biolabs) were used to produce AAV-DJ8 serotype.

Circadian Rhythms Monitoring via CRE-Luc2P Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A luciferase reporter driven by a tandem repeat of the Gpr19 CRE sequence (3 × CRE-Luc2P) was inserted between the ITR sequences of pAAV-MCS vector (Cell Biolabs Inc) to obtain pAAV-3 × CRE-Luc2P. HEK293T cells cultured in dish were co-transfected with pAAV-3 × CRE-Luc2P, pAAV-DJ, and pHelper according to the manufacturer's instructions (Cell Biolabs Inc). Three days after transfection, cells were harvested and resuspended in 1 ml of DMEM, followed by four freeze–thaw cycles and centrifugation. The titers of 3 × CREwt-Luc2P and 3 × CREmut-Luc2P virus solutions were ~ 8 × 1012 genome copies/mL. The SCN slices were prepared according to our standard method59 (link). Two days after the preparation of SCN slices, the AAV solution (3 μL per slice) was inoculated on the surface of the SCN slices. Infected slices were further cultured for ~ 14 days. Thereafter, luminescence from the culture was measured with a dish-type luminometer (Kronos Dio, ATTO) at 35 °C using 1 mM luciferin59 (link). The luminescence was monitored for 2 min at 20-min intervals for each slice. The raw data were smoothed using a 1-h moving average and further detrended by subtracting a 24 h running average.

Knockdown of Hap1 and c-kit Overexpression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adenoviral Hap1-specific and scramble siRNAs were prepared in our previous study [81 (link)]. Viral stocks were adjusted to 1X108 viral particles/μl before use. Neuro2A cells were incubated with adenoviral Hap1 siRNA at a multiplicity of infection of 50. Twenty-four h after infection, the virus-containing medium was removed, and the c-kit plasmid was transfected for another 48 h before performing the protein stability assay. Mouse c-kit cDNA was subcloned into a pAAV-MCS vector (Cell Biolabs). The human synapsin-1 promoter sequence was inserted into the construct to replace the original promoter in the vector. AAV-c-kit (Serotype 9) was packaged and amplified by the viral vector core at Emory University. AAV-GFP (Serotype 9, SignaGen Laboratories) under the same promoter was used as a control.

The primer sets used to amplify the hKvs (hKv1.1, hKv1.3, hKv1.4, hKv1.5, hKv3.1, and hKv11.1) gene are provided in Table 2. The amplification was performed in the Veriti™ 96-Well Fast Thermal Cycler (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) with a thermal cycling program consisting of predenaturation for 3 min at 95 °C, followed by 30 cycles of denaturation for 30 s at 95 °C, annealing for 30 s at 58 °C, and extension for 30 s at 72 °C, with a final extension for 3 min at 72 °C. A Human cDNA Clone Set (OriGene Technologies GmbH, Herford, Germany) was used as the template. A MCS (multi-cloning site) digested from the pAAV-MCS vector (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA) was ligated into the pIRES2-EGFP vector (Clontech Laboratories, Mountain View, CA, USA) to form pAAV–CMV–IRES2–EGFP. The PCR products were ligated into the pAAV–CMV–IRES2–EGFP vector at the NheI and SalI sites to construct pAAV–CMV–hKv–IRES2–EGFP.

Inducible AAV-Mediated MMP-3 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AAV-2/9 containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) reporter gene (Vector Biolabs) was initially used to assess viral transduction and expression in the anterior chambers of wild type mice (C57/BL6). Murine MMP-3 cDNA was incorporated into Bam HI/Xhol sites of the pAAV-MCS vector (Cell Biolabs Inc) for constitutive expression of MMP-3. A null virus was used as contralateral control using the same capsid and vector. The inducible vector was designed by cloning MMP-3 cDNA into a pSingle-tTS (Clontech) vector. This vector was then digested with BsrBI and BsrGI and the fragment containing the inducible system and MMP-3 cDNA was ligated into the Not1 site of expression vector pAAV-MCS, to incorporate left and right AAV inverted terminal repeats (L-IRT and R-ITR). AAV-2/9 was generated using a triple transfection system in a stable HEK-293 cell line (Vector Biolabs). For animals injected with the inducible virus, after a 3-week incubation period, 0.2% doxycycline (D9891, Sigma) in PBS was administered twice daily to the eye for 10–16 days to induce viral expression. A similar inducible virus expressing eGFP was used as a control in the inducible study.

Full-length Elf1 cDNAs was achieved from mouse DRG RNA by using the primers with restriction enzymes (reverse: 5′- GCGCTCGAGTTAAAAAGAGTTGGGCTCTAG-3′, forward: 5′- TAGAAGCTTGCCACCATGGCTGCTGTTGTCCA-3′) and the SuperScript III One-Step RT-qPCR System with the Platinum Taq High Fidelity Kit (Invitrogen/Thermo-Fisher Scientific). The PCR product was inserted into the corresponding sites of the pHpa-tra-SK plasmids (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) to substitute enhanced GFP sequence or the multiple cloning site of the pAAV-MCS vector (Cell Biolabs, CA). The genes in the plasmids were expressed under the control of the cytomegalovirus promoter. The designed sense and antisense sequences for Elf1 shRNA and scrambled shRNA were annealed and inserted between the BamHI and XbaI sites of pAAV-shRNA-EF1a-EYFP. AAV5 packaging was performed by using the AAVpro Purification Kit (Takara, Mountain View, CA). Virus titer was assessed by using the AAVpro® Titration Kit (Takara).

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.
