Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pGL3-Basic-luciferase
  • Backbone manufacturer
    Promega
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 4818
  • Total vector size (bp) 5842
  • Modifications to backbone
    The mCherry ORF DNA fragment was amplified by PCR and subjected to TA cloning into the pGEM-T Easy vector. An isolated clone was sequenced for confirmation and then double digested with NcoI/XbaI for obtaining the mCherry fragment insert. For construction of pGL3-Basic-hCYP26A1P-mCherry (E4.2) clone containing the human CYP26A1 promoter, the pGL3-Basic-hCYP26A1P-E4 Luciferase was first double digested with NcoI/XbaI to remove luciferase DNA fragment and then replaced with mCherry.
