Plenti cmv puro vector

Manufactured by Addgene
Sourced in United States

The PLenti-CMV-Puro vector is a lentiviral expression vector that allows for the stable integration and expression of a gene of interest in target cells. The vector contains a Cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter to drive high-level expression of the gene of interest, as well as a puromycin resistance gene for selection of transduced cells.

Mitochondrial GSH Redox Biosensor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The oxidation state of the mitochondrial GSH pool was assessed using a previously developed genetically encoded fluorescent and ratiometric biosensor targeted to the mitochondria35 (link) (Mito-Grx-roGFP2). The Mito-Grx1-roGFP2 construct (Addgene, 64977) was cloned into the pLenti-CMV-Puro vector (Addgene, 17448) and lentivirus generated to produce stable cell lines expressing the biosensor as described. For each treatment condition, 15,000 cells were seeded overnight onto triplicate wells of a black walled 96-well plate. Cells were then washed with PBS and treated with cystine replete or deficient RPMI for 16 h. Cells were then placed in a fluorescence-compatible plate reader (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and fluorescence measured (GSH-bound Ex:475 nm/Em:500–550 nm, GSSG-bound Ex:405 nm/Em:500–550 nm).

Spike-in Assay for Quantifying CTC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For checking the specificity of the strategy, a modified Cal 27 cell line was used for spike-in experiments.
Cal 27 cells were transduced with the pLenti CMV puro Vector (#17448, Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA) inserted with CRNN gene. This vector contains the puromycin resistance gene as a selection marker. Transduced cells were then selected with puromycin (5 µg/mL) (#P8833, Sigma) for 7–10 days. The detailed protocol is provided in the Supplementary Material.
The modified Cal 27 cell line was spiked into whole blood in different concentrations of 10 cells/mL, 100 cells/mL, and 1,000 cells/mL. These spiked samples were processed for standardised CTC isolation protocol (PBMC isolation → CD45 depletion → sorting of cells using CTC isolation gating strategy). The sorted cells were subjected to whole transcriptome amplification using REPLI-g WTA Single Cell Kit (#150063, Qiagen) followed by qRT-PCR using SYBR green chemistry, and mRNA expression of the puromycin resistance gene was detected.

Molecular Cloning of TRAF and FYN-TRAF3IP2 Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We obtained pLX304-blast-V5 construct encoding TRAF3IP2 and CARD11 from the Broad Lentiviral Expression Library, pcDNA3 Flag-TRAF6 (#66929) from Addgene, and FUW-mCherry-Puro-Luc from 61 (link). We cloned TRAF6 into pcDNA3.1 vector (Invitrogen #V79020) with N-terminal HA tag and mutagenized pLX304-CARD11 plasmid to switch the V5 tag into HA tag at the C-terminal using the QuikChange II XL Site-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Agilent #200522) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. We generated C-terminal GFP tagged expression constructs by cloning gene synthesis products of wild type FYN-TRAF3IP2 and the ASVQSKDK FYN-TRAF3IP2 mutant (GenScript) in the pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro vector (System Biosciences #CD510B-1). We cloned gene synthesis products of FYN-TRAF3IP2 and TRAF3IP2 (Genewiz) into pLenti-CMV-Puro vector (Addgene #17452) for human cell line lentiviral infection experiments, into pMSCV Puro IRES GFP vector (Addgene #18751) for mouse primary cell retroviral infection experiments, and into the pcDNA3.1 vector (Invitrogen #V79020) for transient transfection experiments, with N-terminal Kozak sequence GCCACCATG and C-terminal V5. We generated the ASVQSKDK and PVAVAA mutants of FYN-TRAF3IP2 by site directed mutagenesis as described above.

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.
