Notes
The order of the major features in pRc/RSV is: RSV LTR - MCS - bovine growth hormone polyadenylation signal - M13 ori - SV40 early promoter - neoR - SV40 polyadenylation signal - pMB1 ori - bla. [1] Shuttle reporter plasmid permitting visual detection of activity by histochemical staining. [1] Presence of beta-galactosidase activity is used to follow cell lineage in culture or in situ. [1] pRSVlacZII (ATCC 77129), pRSVPAP (ATCC 77130) and pRSVADH (ATCC 77131) provide distinct color-staining reactions (aqua blue, red, and blue-black respectively) to permit simultaneous analysis of multiple lineages. [1] Constructed by cloning the 3.9 kb HindIII/BamHI fragment from pM-MuLV-SV-lacZ into pRc/RSV. [1] Transient expression experiments should be performed to examine the RSV promoter efficiency in different cell lines. The RSV promoter can be replaced by excising with a BglII/HindIII digest. (personal communication) Restriction digests of the clone give the following sizes (kb): EcoRI--4.4, 3.4, 1.2; HindIII--9.0; BglII--9.0, KpnI--4.5 (doublet); XbaI--9.0. (ATCC staff) Medium is 1227 LB plus ampicillin. Hosts: E.coli DH5alpha, vertebrate cells, E.coli. Related vectors: pRcRSV from Invitrogen, pM-MuLV-SV-lacZ, pRSVADH, pRSVPAP.
