Cyno EpCAM Lentivirus

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Applications: Generate cell pools or stable cell lines expressing Cyno EpCAM, following puromycin selection.

Background: EpCAM (Epithelial cell adhesion molecule), also known as CD90, is specific to epithelial cells and regulates cell proliferation and differentiation. It is used as an epithelial cell biomarker to detect circulating tumor cells. EpCAM belongs to the small GA733 protein family and is a homophilic transmembrane glycoprotein involved in cell-cell adhesion and tissue plasticity. It is a single-chain membrane-spanning protein with three major domains known as EpEX, involved in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mediated signaling pathways. Due to the versatile function of EpCAM and its crosstalk with other signaling pathways in cancer, EpCAM is considered an attractive target for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy.

Description: Cyno EpCAM Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to transduce nearly all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. These particles transduce cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule; XM_045369368.1) driven by an EF1A promoter, and a puromycin selection marker.

Formulation: The lentiviruses were produced in HEK293T cells in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.  Virus particles can be packaged in custom formulations by special request, for an additional fee.

Storage Stability: Lentiviruses are shipped with dry ice. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the virus at -80°C for up to 12 months from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.

Supplied As: Two vials (500 µl x 2) of lentivirus at a titer ≥10⁷ TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Uniprot: P16422

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles

Biosafety Level: BSL-2
