Depositor Comments

Please note that verifying this plasmid by sequencing or digest is challenging due to the presence of the helper plasmid, as multiple bands or mispriming is likely to occur. See Addgene's sequencing results to compare sequences.

This plasmid has been found to be somewhat unstable and prone to concatenation. Concatenation often does not impact plasmid function, but can reduce transformation or transfection efficiencies. If you have trouble isolating the monomeric version of this plasmid, you might consider linearizing, gel extracting, re-ligating, and transforming the plasmid.
