Backbone
-
Vector backbonepSico PGK GFP
- Backbone size (bp) 7500
-
Modifications to backboneEGFP is expressed from this plasmid as a marker, but it is not a fusion protein. Cre causes EGFP to be recombined out of the construct, activating shRNA expression.

Depositor Comments
pSico PGK GFP is similar to pSico, except the CMV promoter is replaced with the PGK promoter. pSico PGK GFP allows for conditional (Cre-Lox), stable expression of shRNAs for RNA interference in cells and transgenic mice. Addition of Cre TURNS ON shRNA expression.
The shRNA coding oligos have to be cloned into the HpaI and XhoI restriction sites. Oligo design information can be found on the author's map or on the Jacks Lab website http://web.mit.edu/jacks-lab/protocols_table.html
