Morris CellTag and CellTag-Multi Barcoding Libraries
(Pooled Libraries #115643, #115643-LVC, #115644, #115644-LVC, #115645, #115645-LVC, #206045)

  • Purpose

    The lentiviral barcoding libraries can be used to combinatorially index cells for single-cell analysis of clonal dynamics.

    The pSMAL-CellTag library of barcodes allows tracking of clonal transcriptional state.

    The pSMAL-CellTag-multi library of barcodes can be profiled directly with single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing, to allow clonal tracking of both transcriptional and accessible chromatin state.

Purpose

Ready-to-use lentiviral particles carrying version 1 of the CellTag barcoding library to combinatorially index cells for single-cell analysis of clonal dynamics.

Delivery

  • Volume 50 µL
  • Titer ≥1x108 TU/mL
  • Storage Store at -80 ℃. Thaw just before use and keep on ice.
  • Shipment Viral particles are shipped frozen on dry ice. Pooled Library DNA (10 µL at 50 ng/µL) will also be included in the shipment.

Viral Production & Use

  • Packaging Plasmids psPAX2 (plasmid #12260)
  • Envelope pMD2.G (plasmid #12259)
  • Buffer PBS
  • Selectable Marker EGFP

Biosafety

Requestor is responsible for compliance with their institution's biosafety regulations. Lentivirus is generally considered BSL-2. AAV is generally considered BSL-1, but may require BSL-2 handling depending on the insert. Biosafety Guide

Viral Quality Control

Pooled Library Representation:
  • To confirm library representation and distribution, we perform next-generation sequencing on the purified plasmid DNA pool that was used to generate lentivirus.

Titering Method:
  • As of February 2023 the titering method for this library was switched to ddPCR.
  • ddPCR: 293T cells are transduced with serial dilutions of 115643-LVC, harvested several days later, and genomic DNA is isolated. Copies of RRE are measured and normalized to RPP30.
