Depositor Comments

The HIV-H2BmRFP plasmid was cloned by replacing Zsgreen in HIV-Zsgreen with H2BmRFP to generate a bicistronic lentiviral vector. cDNA can be cloned into the multiple cloning site (HpaI, XbaI, SmaI) in order to coexpress the inserted gene with H2BmRFP. Gerrit Dijkgraaf in Zena Werb's lab cloned this virus.
