ID Plasmid Purpose
177937CoV2-N-WT-Hu1Transient mammalian expression of codon optimized SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid (original Wuhan Hu1 sequence). Used for generating RNA packaging virus-like particles.
177938CoV2-M-IRES-ETransient mammalian expression of codon optimized SARS-CoV-2 Membrane and Envelope proteins (original Wuhan Hu1 sequence). Used for generating RNA packaging virus-like particles.
177939CoV2-Spike-EF1a-D614G-N501YTransient mammalian expression of codon optimized SARS-CoV-2 Spike proteins (D614G, N501Y). This version gives lower expression of Spike and is more convenient for generating VLPs.
