Background: Claudins are integral membrane proteins and major components of tight junction strands which serve as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space between epithelial or endothelial cell sheets. Claudin-3 is one of the 27 members of the Claudin family.Claudin-3 interacts with claudin-1 and claudin-5. It also acts as a low-affinity receptor for Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) during infection by gram-positive Clostridial bacteria, which are responsible for food poisoning and gastrointestinal illnesses. Recent studies indicate that the protein may be overexpressed in ovarian cancer.
Description: The Claudin-3 Lentiviruses 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. The particles contain a human Claudin-3 (NM_001306.4) driven by an EF1A promoter and a puromycin selection marker (Figure 1).

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 lentiviruses at -80°C.
Supplied As: Two vials (500 µl x 2) of lentivirus at a titer ≥10
7 TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.
