TGFBR2 CRISPR/Cas9 Lentivirus (Non-Integrating)

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

Applications: Transient knockdown of TGFBR2 in target cell poolsGeneration of a stable TGFBR2 knockout cell line following puromycin selection and limiting dilution cloning

Description: Transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 (TGFBR2) encodes the TGF-β receptor protein, a transmembrane protein that forms a heterodimeric complex with other receptor proteins and binds TGF-β. This receptor/ligand complex phosphorylates proteins which regulate cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, wound healing, and immunosuppression. Mutations in TGFBR2 have been linked with Marfan syndrome and the development of various types of tumors.The TGFBR2 CRISPR/Cas9 Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles ready to infect most types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a CRISPR/Cas9 gene driven by an EF1a promoter, along with 5 sgRNA (single guide RNA) targeting human TGFBR2 (Figure 1 and Table 1).The TGFRBR2 CRISPR/Cas9 non-integrating lentivirus is made with a mutated integrase, resulting in only transient expression of Cas9 and sgRNA. Although using the non-integrating lentivirus results in lower knockdown efficiency, the Cas9 protein is not permanently expressed, which lowers the risk of off-targeting, and there are no random integrations into the cell's genome. Despite transient expression of Cas9 and sgRNA, knockout cell lines can still be generated using cell sorting or limiting dilution due to the permanent changes in the genomic DNA from the Cas9 nuclease activity and NHEJ repair.

Formulation: The lentivirus particles were produced from HEK293T cells. They are supplied in cell culture 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 lentivirus at a titer ≥1 x 10⁷ TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Uniprot: P37173

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Biosafety Level: BSL-2
