This product is a kit containing two lentiviral plasmids: one plasmid that utilizes the EF1 alpha promoter to drive expression of MS2-P65-HSF1 and a hygromycin resistance cassette linked by a 2A peptide (EF1a-MS2-P65-HSF1-2A-Hygromycin) and one plasmid that utilizes the EF1 alpha promoter to drive expression of dCas9-VP64 and blasticidin resistance cassette also linked by a 2A peptide (EF1a-dCas9-VP64-2A-Blasticidin). The vector composition allows for easy selection following successful transfection or transduction. Use Sigma’s lentiviral MS2-P65-HSF1 or dCas9-VP64 plasmids for generation of lentiviral particles and efficient production of stable cell lines expressing MS2-P65-HSF1 and/or dCas9-VP64. The two plasmids are part of a 3 part CRISPR system with individual dCas9-VP64, MS2-p65-HSF1 and gRNA expression vectors used for CRISPR based transcipritonal activation and genome wide gain of function screening.
