CRE/CREB eGFP Reporter Lentivirus

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

Description: The CRE/CREB eGFP Reporter Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain an eGFP gene driven by a multimerized cAMP response element (CRE) located upstream of the minimal TATA promoter . After transduction, activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in the target cells can be monitored by examining eGFP expression.

Formulation: The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.

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

Supplied As: Two vials (500 µl x 2) of firefly luciferase lentivirus at a titer ≥5 x 10⁶ TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Warnings: Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.Biosafety: None of the HIV genes (gag, pol, rev) will be expressed in the transduced cells, as they are expressed from packaging plasmids lacking the packing signal. Although the pseudotyped lentiviruses are replication-incompetent, they require the use of a Biosafety Level 2 facility. BPS recommends following all local federal, state, and institutional regulations and using all appropriate safety precautions.

Biosafety Level: BSL-2
