Comments:

Transgenes can be expressed from any RNA Pol II promoter as part of bicistronic unit comprising the KRAB-based repressor; tetO sequences are inserted into the vector LTR. Tet-on and Tet-off versions rely on repressors that bind in the absence or the presence of doxycycline, respectively. Addition of Pol III promoter-small hairpin RNA cassette allows for drug-controllable RNA interference (Tet-on shRNA).
