Control empty shrna plko 1

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The pLKO.1 plasmid is a lentiviral vector used as a control in shRNA experiments. It contains a puromycin resistance gene for selection and a cloning site for insertion of shRNA sequences. The vector itself does not express any shRNA, making it a suitable control for experiments involving shRNA knockdown.

The human CHMP5-shRNA (5’-CCGGGAGTTGGATGCACTAGGTGATCTCGAGATCACCTAGTGCATCCAACTCTTTTTTG-3’), human CHMP6-shRNA (5’-CCGGGCGCAATCACTCAGGAACAAACTCGAGTTTGTTCCTGAGTGATTGCGCTTTTTTG-3’), and control empty shRNA (pLKO.1) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). RNAi was performed using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Stable knockdown cells were selected by adding puromycin.

Targeted Knockdown of Autophagy Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The predesigned human ATG5 shRNA-1 (TRCN0000330394), ATG5 shRNA-2 (TRCN0000151474), ATG7 shRNA-1 (TRCN0000007584), ATG7 shRNA-2 (TRCN0000364479), ACSL4 shRNA-1 (TRCN0000045541), ACSL4 shRNA-2 (TRCN0000045539), NCOA4 shRNA (TRCN0000236186), and control empty shRNA (pLKO.1) in a lentiviral format were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. We seeded 1 × 105 cells in each well of a 12-well plate in 500 μl of complete medium and transduced them by lentiviral vectors at a multiplicity of infection of 10:1. Transduction was carried out in the presence of polybrene (8 μg/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific, TR1003G) in an antibiotic-free medium. After recovering with complete culture medium, puromycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, A1113802, 5 μg/ml) was used for the selection of transduced cells. The efficiency of RNAi was checked by western blot analysis of target proteins.

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.
