Tet-inducible gene expression systems product selection guide
Use the list below to choose the right tetracycline-inducible system and products for your research.
Tet-inducible gene expression systems
Tet-One systems
The only commercially available single-vector inducible mammalian expression systems that can deliver a 3–4-orders-of-magnitude difference in expression levels between induced and uninduced states.
Tet-On 3G systems
Obtain the tightest possible control of gene expression, with significantly reduced basal expression and increased sensitivity to doxycycline.
Tet-On 3G EF1-alpha systems
Express the Tet-On 3G transactivator in cells that silence the CMV promoter—for example, hematopoietic cells and stem cells.
Lentiviral Tet-On 3G systems
Establish tightly inducible expression of your gene of interest in dividing or nondividing cells.
Retroviral Tet-On 3G system
Establish tightly inducible expression of your gene of interest in a broad range of dividing cell types.
Adenoviral Tet-On 3G system
Combine the tightest and most sensitive control of gene expression with the most advanced commercially available adenoviral vector system.
Tet-On 3G bidirectional systems
Simultaneous, equivalent inducible expression of two proteins from the same bidirectional promoter—either a fluorescent protein reporter and your protein of interest, or two proteins of interest.
Tet-On 3G bicistronic systems
Simultaneous inducible expression of a protein of interest and a reporter protein (or two proteins of interest) from the same RNA transcript. Ideal for stable clone selection.
Tet-inducible miRNA systems
Tet-inducible microRNA
Track inducible miRNA expression with fluorescent protein markers.
Tet-approved serum
Tet System Approved FBS
The only serum that is functionally tested to ensure optimum induction with tetracycline-inducible gene expression systems.
Tet system cell lines
Tet-On 3G cell lines
Rigorously tested, clonal cell lines that stably express our premium Tet-On 3G transactivator.
Tet-On cell lines
Induce high-level expression of your gene of interest by adding doxycycline to the culture of transfected cells.
Tet-Off cell lines
Induce high-level expression of your gene of interest by removing doxycycline from the culture of transfected cells.
TetR monoclonal antibody
TetR monoclonal antibody
Detect Tet-On 3G, Tet-On Advanced, and Tet-Off Advanced proteins by Western blot.
