Applications: 1. Transient expression of TMPRSS2 in target cells.
2. Generation of stable cell line expressing TMPRSS2 in Puromycin selection.

Description: Human transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) is an enzyme primarily expressed by endothelial cells across the respiratory and digestive tracts. It is involved in viral entry and spread of coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID19. TMPRSS2 primes the spike protein by cleaving at the S1/S2 site, leading to the virus fusing to the respiratory epithelia on the cell surface through binding to ACE2. Blocking TMPRSS2 activity could potentially be an effective clinical therapy for COVID-19.
The TMPRSS2 Lentivirus 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 TMPRSS2 gene (NM_005656.4) driven by an EF1a promoter.

Formulation: The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells. Supplied 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 lentivirus at a titer ≥5 x 10^6 TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Warnings: 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
