pLV-SFFV-SSTR2

• Name of plasmid: pLV-SFFV-SSTR2
• Description: pHR' SIN-SFFV-SSTR2 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 human, rodent, and other animal cells.
• Transgene: Human somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2)
• Proposed Use: For generation of lentiviral vector stocks encoding human somatostatin receptor 2 in a triple transfection protocol.

Transgene Validation: HeLaH1 cells were transduced with LV-SSTR2 and assayed for uptake of ¹¹¹In-octreotide as a measure of SSTR2 activity. Parental HeLaH1 cells were used as a negative control.
