Depositor Comments
Please note Addgene Quality Control sequence found mutation K278T in KLF4.
Oct4 and Sox2 are coexpressed under a strong EF promoter. SV40LT and Klf4 are coexpressed under a separate (but identical) EF promoter. This plasmid contains EBNA-1 and OriP for limited maintenance in mammalian cells.
These plasmids were used at concentrations of >1.5 mg/ml. When preparing these plasmids for transfection, 3 low concentration maxipreps are done and the elution is combined in about 700 ul.
Addgene recommends screening 3-5 colonies immediately upon receipt, as this plasmid may be prone to recombination.
These plasmids were created by your colleagues. Please acknowledge the Principal Investigator, cite the article in which the plasmids were described, and include Addgene in the Materials and Methods of your future publications.
