Application Notes
|
Generation of pVisionRFP-fusion proteins: A localization signal or a gene of interest should be inserted into MCS of the vector. It will be expressed as a fusion to VisionRFP C-terminus when inserted in the same reading frame as VisionRFP and no intervening stop codons are present. Note: Despite its dimeric structure, VisionRFP is still suitable for generation of fusions with proteins of interest. Expression in mammalian cells: pVisionRFP-C vector can be transfected into mammalian cells by any known transfection method. CMV promoter provides strong, constitutive expression of VisionRFP or VisionRFP-tagged fusions in many cell types. If required, stable transformants can be selected using G418. Propagation in E. coli: Suitable host strains DH5alpha, HB101, and other general purpose strains. Single-stranded DNA production requires a host containing an F plasmid such as JM109 or XL1-Blue. Selectable marker: plasmid confers resistance to kanamycin (30 μg/mL) to E. coli hosts. E. coli replication origin: pUC Copy number approx. 500 Plasmid incompatibility group: pMB1/ColE1
