JetPrime (Polyplus Transfection Inc., New York, NY, USA) was used to perform transient expression according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For virus production HEK293T cells were transfected using the calcium phosphate method as described before [28 (link)]. Inducible stable cell lines were obtained by transduction of the VCA Nbs in the pLVXTP vector, making use of the Lenti-X Tet-On advanced system (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Expression was induced by addition of 500 ng/mL doxycycline.
Lenti x tet on advanced system
The Lenti-X Tet-On Advanced System is a lab equipment product developed by Takara Bio. It is a tetracycline-inducible lentiviral expression system that enables tight, efficient, and reversible gene expression regulation in a wide range of cell types, including primary cells and stem cells.

Engineered Lentiviral System for Neuronal Conversion
Lentiviral Ephrin-B2 Overexpression
The pLVX-EF1α vector was a generous gift from Dr. Jerome Mertens (University of Bonn).
Human ephrin-B2 full-length (NM_004093.3) or fragments closely resembling the Cterminal fragment (CTF) or intracellular domain (ICD) were amplified by PCR. PCR products were restricted with MluI and BamHI and ligated into the pLVX-EF1α vector.
Production of lentiviral particles was performed as previously described (Kutner et al. 2009) .
Briefly, HEK-293FT cells were co-transfected with the packaging plasmid psPAX2, the envelope plasmid pMD2.G, and the respective lentiviral vector plasmid. Viral particles were enriched by incubation with polyethyleneglycol 6000 and consecutive centrifugation.
Presenilin expressing and WT ESdM were transduced with the different ephrin-B2 constructs overnight. After antibiotic selection, cells were cultured in the presence of 2 μg/mL puromycin (Sigma-Aldrich).
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.
