Depositor Comments

This vector is a member of the pKK-BI16 series which belongs to the pKK vector family. It enables concomitant expression of two genes, which transcription is driven by a tetracycline responsive bidirectional CMV promoter. This vector is a derivate of the BI16 plasmid (PMID: 16212928) and is suitable for stable cell line generation using the Flp-In system. ORF2 is cloned with the universal SLIC protocol (just three universal PCR primers are required to clone a given coding sequence into all vectors from pKK family by a ligation-independent DNA cloning method), ORF1 can be cloned using SLIC with specifically designed primers (applicable enzymes: MluI, BspTI, Eco47III, MunI, Psp5II) or conventional restriction-ligase based cloning (see Szczesny RJ et al. for detailed description and protocols; bioRxiv, doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/160101). mClover3 is a brighter derivative of mEGFP (PMID: 26879144). FLAG is a short tag, less likely to interfere with protein function (PMID: 11694294).
