Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pcDNA3.1(+)
  • Backbone manufacturer
    Invitrogen
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 5428
  • Modifications to backbone
    The luc2=tdT fusion gene was created by PCR amplification of the Luc2 gene (pGL4.10, Promega, Madison, WI) and cloned by restriction digestion upstream of the tdTomato gene in the vector pRSET-B-tdTomato (kindly provided by Roger Tsien, UC San Diego). The luc2=tdT fusion gene was excised with EcoRI and inserted into the EcoRI site in the pcDNA3.1(+) multiple cloning site.
