Construction of CDH5p-GFP-ZEO Lentiviral Vector

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CDH5p-GFP-ZEO lentiviral vector was constructed incrementally. First, the CDH5 promoter was cloned into a pENTR5′-TOPO vector as previously demonstrated [24 (link)]. Then, GFP-T2A-Zeocin was amplified from pGreenZEO (System Biosciences) and subcloned into pENTR/D-TOPO. Finally, the pENTR5′CDH5p and pENTR/D-GFP-ZEO were cloned into the pDEST R4R3 Vector II (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using Gateway™ LR Clonase™ II Enzyme mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Note that the pDEST R4R3 Vector II includes a blasticidin resistance cassette for selection. The resulting vector was submitted to the Viral Vector Core Facility at the University of Iowa for lentiviral packaging. The CDH5p-GFP-ZEO lentiviral vector is available on Addgene (catalog # 122970). Figure 1b illustrates a simplified plasmid map.

Lentiviral Packaging Vectors for Choroidal Endothelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lentiviral packaging vectors were constructed in a stepwise fashion. First, the promoter for endothelial cell specific Cadherin 5 (CDH5) (Prandini et al., 2005 (link)), which is expressed by choroidal endothelial cells (Schubert et al., 2014 (link)), was cloned into the pENTR5’-TOPO plasmid (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Carlsbad, CA; Cat. No K59120). Next the human Telomerase gene (hTERT) and SV40 large T (TAg) were amplified from either the pLOX-Ttag-iresTK or pLOX-TERT-iresTK, a gift from Didier Trono (Addgene plasmid # 12246 and # 12245) (Salmon et al.,2000 (link)), and individually cloned into the pENTR/D-topo plasmid upstream of a blasticidin resistance cassette (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Cat. No. K240020).Finally the pENTR5’CDH5p and pENTR/D-hTERT or pENTR/D-TAg were cloned into the pDEST R4R3 Vector II (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Cat. No. A11145) using Gateway™ LR Clonase™ II Enzyme mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Cat. No. 11791100). The construct maps are depicted in Figure 1.

Cloning Human CA4 Promoter and Zeocin Resistance Gene

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human carbonic anhydrase 4 (CA4) promoter, which in the posterior eye is specific to the choriocapillaris, was cloned into the pENTR5'‐TOPO vector using the Gateway Cloning strategy (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Carlsbad, CA; Cat. No. K591‐10) 21, 22. The Gateway Cloning strategy was also used to clone a Zeocin resistance gene into the pENTR/D‐TOPO vector. Both entry vectors were subsequently cloned into the pDEST R4R3 Vector II (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Cat. No. 46‐2130, Supporting Information Figure 1) with the Gateway LR Clonase II Plus Enzyme Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Cat. No. 12538‐120) and transformed in One Shot TOP10 Chemically Competent Escherichia coli (ThermoFisher Scientific; Cat. No. C4040‐03).

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.
