Lentivirus

Lentiviral vectors with fluorescent proteins

These lentiviral vectors allow you to deliver and stably express your gene of interest as a fluorescent fusion protein in virtually any cell type, including dividing and nondividing cells, stem cells, terminally differentiated cells, and neuronal cells. Three bicistronic lentiviral vectors (pLVX-IRES-mCherry, pLVX-IRES-tdTomato, and pLVX-IRES-ZsGreen1) are also available to allow your gene of interest and a bright fluorescent protein to be coexpressed from a single mRNA transcript. Takara Bio’s Living Colors DsRed-Monomer, AcGFP1, and mCherry proteins are truly monomeric fluorescent proteins that are ideal for use as fusion tags. ZsGreen1 and tdTomato are supremely bright fluorescent proteins that are excellent reporters for gene expression, or for measuring transduction/transfection efficiency. mCherry is a very popular fluorescent protein derived by directed mutagenesis of mRFP1, a monomeric mutant of DsRed. DsRed-Express2 is a rapidly maturing variant of Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein (DsRed). It is highly soluble and was designed to be better suited for cell and stem cell applications.

All Living Colors proteins are detectable without added cofactors or substrates, making them exceptional, noninvasive tools for live-cell studies.

DsRed-Monomer & AcGFP1

Truly monomeric proteins (see DsRed-Monomer for more information)
Ideal for tagging proteins for trafficking and localization studies
Distinct spectra make them excellent choices for double labeling experiments

ZsGreen1 & tdTomato

The brightest green and red fluorescent proteins—(2.5X and 3.5X brighter than EGFP, respectively)
IRES bicistronic expression for monitoring transduction efficiency
Separate expression of your cDNA and a fluorescent protein from a single transcript

mCherry

A bright monomeric protein
Matures very rapidly—its t_1/2 for maturation at 37°C is approximately 15 minutes

DsRed-Express2

Rapidly maturing red fluorescent protein with enhanced solubility and reduced green emission
Well-suited for cell and stem cell applications

The pLVX-AcGFP1-C1 vector is an HIV-1 based lentiviral expression vector that can produce recombinant lentivirus that efficiently transduces both dividing and non-dividing mammalian cells. This vector expresses a variant of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea coerulescens. pLVX-AcGFP1-C1 allows cloning of a cDNA into the multiple cloning site (MCS) downstream of the coding sequence for AcGFP1. The cDNA is subsequently expressed as a fusion to the C-terminus of the AcGFP1 protein. Thus,
this vector allows the expression of fluorescent fusion proteins in difficult-to-transfect cells. It also contains a puromycin selection marker for selection of stable transductants. The unmodified vector will express AcGFP1 protein and may be used to produce marker virus to optimize infection protocols.

This lentiviral expression vector encodes an AmCyan1 fluorescent protein tag. The protein is a human codon-optimized variant of the Anemonia majano cyan fluorescent protein engineered for increased brightness and higher expression in mammalian cells. Inserting a cDNA in the MCS downstream of the AmCyan1 coding sequence joins your protein of interest to the C-terminus of AmCyan1, and allows it to be tracked and studied in transduced cells. To package the vector into high-titer, replication-incompetent lentivirus, we recommend using Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots (Cat. Nos. 631275–631278) and the Lenti-X 293T Cell Line (Cat. No. 632180). The resulting lentivirus can then be used to transduce virtually any mammalian cell type.

The pLVX-DsRed-Monomer-N1 vector is an HIV-1-based lentiviral expression vector that can produce recombinant lentivirus that efficiently transduces both dividing and non-dividing mammalian cells. This vector expresses a monomeric mutant of the Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein (DsRed). pLVX-DsRed-Monomer-N1 allows cloning of a cDNA into the multiple cloning site (MCS) upstream of the DsRed-Monomer coding sequence. The cDNA is subsequently expressed as a fusion to the N-terminus of the DsRed-Monomer protein. Thus, this vector allows the expression of fluorescent fusion proteins in difficult-to-transfect cells. It also contains a puromycin selection marker for selection of stable transductants. The unmodified vector will express DsRed-Monomer protein and may be used to produce marker virus to optimize infection protocols.

The pLVX-IRES-mCherry Vector is a bicistronic lentiviral expression vector that can be used to generate high-titer lentivirus for transducing dividing or nondividing mammalian cells. The vector contains an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) which allows a gene-of-interest and the mCherry fluorescent protein to be simultaneously coexpressed from a single mRNA transcript. When used with Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots and the Lenti-X 293T Cell Line (Cat. No. 632180), the vector generates high titers of replication-incompetent, VSV-G-pseudotyped lentivirus.

Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots (VSV-G) provide an extremely simple and consistent one-step method for producing high-titer lentivirus. No additional transfection reagent is needed because Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots (VSV-G) consist of pre-aliquoted, lyophilized, single tubes of Xfect Transfection Reagent premixed with an optimized formulation of VSV-G pseudotyped Lenti-X lentiviral packaging plasmids. High-titer virus is produced by simply reconstituting this mixture with your lentiviral vector of choice in sterile water and adding it to 293T cells, e.g., Lenti-X 293T Cells (Cat. No. 632180), in a 10 cm dish.

This lentiviral expression vector encodes an mCherry fluorescent protein tag. This bright red fluorescent protein was derived by site-directed mutagenesis of mRFP1, a monomeric mutant of DsRed. Inserting a cDNA in the MCS downstream of the mCherry coding sequence joins your protein of interest to the C-terminus of the tag, and allows the fusion protein to be tracked and studied in transduced cells. To package the vector into high-titer, replication-incompetent lentivirus, we recommend using Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots and the Lenti-X 293T Cell Line. The resulting lentivirus can then be used to transduce virtually any mammalian cell type.

pLVX-PAmCherry-C1 Vector is an HIV-1-based, lentiviral expression vector. Lentiviral particles derived from the vector allow you to infect cells and express your gene of interest fused to PAmCherry, a photoactivatable mutant of the fluorescent protein mCherry. PAmCherry is non-fluorescent until photoactivated by a short exposure to light at a wavelength between 350 nm and 400 nm. The excitation/emission wavelengths of photoactivated PAmCherry are 564 nm and 595 nm. Genes cloned into the MCS will be expressed as fusions to the C-terminus of PAmCherry if they are in the same reading frame as PAmCherry and there are no intervening stop codons.

This lentiviral expression vector encodes the tdTomato fluorescent protein tag. This very bright red fluorescent protein is a genetic fusion of two copies of dTomato, which was specifically designed for low aggregation. It adopts an intramolecular tandem dimer structure that contributes to its exceptional brightness, yet it behaves like a monomer. Inserting a cDNA in the MCS downstream of the tdTomato coding sequence joins your protein of interest to the C-terminus of the tag, and allows the fusion protein to be tracked and studied in transduced cells.

To package the vector into high-titer, replication-incompetent lentivirus, we recommend using Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots and the Lenti-X 293T Cell Line. The resulting lentivirus can then be used to transduce virtually any mammalian cell type.

This lentiviral expression vector encodes the ZsGreen1 fluorescent protein tag. The coding sequence for this very bright green fluorescent protein (2.5x brighter than EGFP) was modified to include human codon usage preferences, which allow improved expression in mammalian cells. Inserting a cDNA in the MCS downstream of the ZsGreen1 coding sequence joins your protein of interest to the C-terminus of the tag, and allows the fusion protein to be tracked and studied in transduced cells. To package the vector into high-titer, replication-incompetent lentivirus, we recommend using Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots and the Lenti-X 293T Cell Line.
