Expression vectors for mammalian cells

♦ We provide the expression-confirmed clones of human transcription factors (bZIP and nuclear hormone receptor). Empty expression vectors under the control of CMV promoter carrying T7-, HA-, Myc- (Dr. Yoshihiro Takemoto, DNA Cell Biol. 16: 893-896, 1997) or FLAG-tag are also available.

Monitoring transfection efficiency by GFP expression clone

♦ We recommend a GFP expression clone pCMFlag_EGFP (cat # RDB 6071) to monitor the efficiency of transfection in mammalian cells. Mix pCMFlag_EGFP with your expression clones, transfect mammalian cells with them, and then count the number of GFP-positive cells under the fluorescent microscope. We are looking forward to sending the pCMFlag_EGFP to you.
