Depositor Comments

Please acknowledge Jay Morgenstern and Hartmut Land and cite the following article if you use this plasmid in a publication:
Morgenstern JP, Land H., 1990, Nucleic Acids Research 18(12):3587-96.

Note: There is an extra ~300 bp of vector sequence between the HindIII site and the neomycin gene that is not depicted in the author's sequence.

If you are using the pBABE protocol from the Weinberg Lab to generate virus, please note that the Weinberg Lab recommends using pUMVC (Addgene #8449) and VSV-G (#8454) for packaging. The pCL-Eco plasmid listed in their protocol should be substituted with pUMVC.
