pcDNA6 MCV LTco S239A
(Plasmid #112194)

• Purpose: Expression of MCPyV LT mutant (Ser 239 to Ala)
• Depositing Lab: Patrick Moore
• Publication: Kwun et al Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2017 May 16;114(20):E4040-E4047. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1703879114. Epub 2017 May 1.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pcDNA6.V5.HisB
• Backbone manufacturer: Invirtogen
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4985
• Total vector size (bp): 7549
• Modifications to backbone: pcDNA6.V5.HisB vector was modified with NheI and PmeI restriction digestion enzymes to cut out MCS, V5 and His tag sites. New multiple cloning sites using annealed primer pair were ligated back into the vector. The newly generated cloning site comprises: NheI, KpnI, EcoRV, XhoI and SacII. Codon optimized Large T was cloned between EcoRV and XhoI restriction sites.
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression
