When conducting experiments using MISSION shRNA clones, the proper controls should be a key element of your experimental design to allow for accurate interpretation of knockdown results. Silencing of the CMV promoter can be a problem in some cell types. For these cells, the ubiquitin promoter (UbC) can be a viable alternative. The MISSION UbC-TurboGFP Control Transduction Particles are a positive control to monitor transduction efficiency for applications in which an alternate promoter is necessary. The MISSION UbC-TurboGFP Control Transduction Particles are produced from the sequence-verified 9092 base pair lentivirus plasmid, pLKO.1-puro-UbC-TurboGFP (SHC014).

This construct aids in interpretation of experimental design and results by providing a green fluorescent protein marker for monitoring success in transduction of your cells of interest.

Self-inactivating replication incompetent viral particles are produced in packaging cells (HEK293T) by co-transfection with compatible packaging plasmids. In addition, the Control Transduction Particles are pseudotyped with an envelope G glycoprotein from Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV-G), allowing transduction of a wide variety of mammalian cells. 200 μl of 10⁶ TU/ml (via p24 titering assay) lentiviral particles are provided as frozen stock.

When conducting experiments using MISSION^® shRNA clones, the proper controls should be a key element of your experimental design to allow for accurate interpretation of knockdown results. The MISSION Control Transduction Particles are a critical positive control to monitor transduction efficiency.
