Tetracycline inducible expression—Tet-One systems

tet-inducible expression using a single vector

Before the Tet-One systems were developed, our Tet-On and Tet-Off products all required two separate vectors: one to introduce the doxycycline-responsive transactivator protein into your target cells, and the other to introduce the inducible promoter controlling your gene of interest.

Before the Tet-One systems were developed, our Tet-On and Tet-Off products all required two separate vectors: one to introduce the doxycycline-responsive transactivator protein into your target cells, and the other to introduce the inducible promoter controlling your gene of interest.

The Tet-One Systems provide both of these components on a single vector. The Tet-On 3G transactivator is expressed in the forward direction from the human phosphoglycerate kinase 1 promoter, and the cloned gene of interest is expressed from the PTRE3GS promoter in the reverse orientation. Compared to the two-vector Tet-On 3G systems, all previously published all-in-one vectors have shown a low signal-to-noise ratio, typically providing only 50- to 100-fold induced expression, even in selected clones. Our Tet-One systems are based on an all-in-one design that has shown up to 25,000-fold induction (Heinz et al. 2011).

634310 AAVpro® Tet-One™ Inducible Expression System (AAV2) 1 System USD $976.00 *

The AAVpro Tet-One Inducible Expression System is a tetracycline-inducible gene expression system that allows you to produce high titers of recombinant, adeno-associated virus (AAV) for establishing a tightly inducible expression system for your gene of interest in mammalian cells. The all-in-one pAAV-TetOne vector expresses the Tet-On 3G transactivator from the constitutive human PGK promoter, and your gene of interest from the PTRE3GS promoter. In the presence of doxycycline (Dox), the Tet-On 3G transactivator specifically binds and activates high-level transcription from the inducible promoter that controls expression of your gene. There is no selection marker on this vector for mammalian cells. The kit also includes the plasmids for preparation of high-titer AAV particles without the use of a helper virus, and AAV Extraction Solution for isolation of pure AAV particles.

Overview

  • All-in-one vector design provides all the power of Tet-On 3G technology in a single vector, making inducible expression as easy as constitutive expression
  • Low background and high maximum induced expression
  • High sensitivity to doxycycline: near maximum expression at 10 ng/ml doxycycline
  • Inducible expression in a broad range of tissues, because the Tet-On 3G transactivator is expressed from the human PGK promoter
  • High-titer lentivirus packaging system provided with Lenti-X Tet-One systems
  • Retro-X systems incude our Retro-X Universal Packaging System
  • The AAVpro system uses a helper-free packaging system and includes extraction reagents for efficient isolation of AAV particles

Tet-One tetracycline-inducible expression system, technology overview

Tighly controlled expression system that is as easy to use as any constitutive system

Until now, the best inducible mammalian expression systems have all required a two-vector format. Tet-One inducible expression systems are the only commercially available single-vector systems that can deliver a >10,000-fold difference in expression levels between induced and uninduced states.
