pLV-SFFV-ratNIS

• Name of plasmid: pLV-SFFV-rat NIS
• Description: pHR'-SIN-SFFV-rNIS plasmid DNA
• Amount of DNA: 20 ug
• Promoter: SFFV spleen focus forming virus promoter for high constitutive gene expression in numerous cell types. Unlike the CMV promoter, SFFV works very well in rodent and other animal cells.
• Transgene: Rat NIS
• Proposed Use: For generation of lentiviral vector stocks encoding rat NIS in a triple transfection protocol.
