pLenLox_U6 Nlgn2
(Plasmid #59358)

• Purpose: Lentiviral expression vector: Neuroligin 2 shRNA under control of mouse U6 promoter, EGFP-expression driven by CAG promoter to monitor expression.
• Depositing Lab: Peter Scheiffele
• Publication: Chih et al Science. 2005 Feb 25;307(5713):1324-8. Epub 2005 Jan 27.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pLL3.7
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 8777
• Total vector size (bp): 8831
• Modifications to backbone: GFP expression is driven by CAG-promoter (instead of CMV-promoter)
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression, Lentiviral

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 30°C
• Growth Strain(s): Stbl3
• Growth instructions: Growth in standard bacterial strains (e.g. DH5alpha) at 37°C is possible, however, growth in SURE cells (37°C) or Stbl3 cells (30°C) is recommended to reduce the risk of recombination.
• Copy number: High Copy
