Tet-On 3G transactivator lentiviral particles

Premade lentivirus to express the Tet-On 3G transactivator

Highly concentrated and purified lentivirus for delivery of the Tet-On 3G transactivator to target cells. Any gene of interest (GOI) under the control of a TRE3G promoter (P_TRE3G) can be tightly controlled by the presence and absence of doxycycline (Dox) in the culture medium.

Highly concentrated and purified lentivirus for delivery of the Tet-On 3G transactivator to target cells. Any gene of interest under the control of a TRE3G promoter can be tightly controlled by the presence and absence of Dox in the culture medium. Tet-On 3G is a modified, improved Tet-On Advanced transcriptional activator protein (transactivator) which has been evolved to display far higher sensitivity to the inducer molecule dox. Tet-On 3G generates very high maximal expression and responds to lower Dox concentrations than its predecessors.

The Vectalys Inducible Reprogramming Lentiviral Vectors are prepackaged lentiviral particles expressing polycistronic Oct4, Sox2, KLF4, and Myc for reprogramming human somatic cells under the induction of doxycycline using Tet technology. These VSV-G pseudotyped viruses are capable of infecting both dividing and non-dividing cells. The high purification level of these lentiviral particles allows transduction of primary cells and immortalized cell lines without inducing any toxicity to the cells, even at high multiplicity of infection (M.O.I.). The expression of these four factors has been shown to reprogram a variety of differentiated cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells with embryonic stem (ES) cell-like properties.

Overview

What does 10⁹ TU/ml mean?
- In each microliter, there will be at least 1 x 10⁶ functional lentivirus particles.
- Each 60-µl kit is sufficient for 30 transductions (using an MOI of 10) in a 6-well plate containing 2 x 10⁵ cells/well.
Gold standard tetracycline transactivator in a ready-to-use lentivirus format.
Premium quality; produced via a multistep purification process which results in very high titers and purity.
- Functional titer provided, not a just a particle count.
- High purity—transduce target cells without cytotoxicity.
- >90% transduction efficiency can be obtained even at very low MOI.
Can be combined with any vector containing a TRE promoter to obtain tetracycline-inducible expression of your gene of interest (we recommend the TRE3G promoter).

Learn more about the technology used to make our ready-to-use lentivirus particle preps

Super-pure and concentrated premade lentivirus particles

Unlike ready-to-use lentiviral particles from other suppliers, the particles in our catalog are produced via a multistep purification process that results in very high titers and high purity. High titers increase transduction efficiency, while high purity reduces cytotoxicity, allowing you to successfully transduce a large number of different cell types—including primary, immortalized, adherent, and suspension cells—while retaining high cell viability.
