Takara, 632567, pRetroQ-mCherry-C1 Vector

The pRetroQ-mCherry-C1 Vector is a high-titer, self-inactivating retroviral expression vector designed to eliminate promoter interference from the upstream LTR in the integrated provirus. The vector encodes mCherry;a bright red fluorescent protein tag that was derived from a monomeric mutant of DsRed (mRFP1) by site-directed mutagenesis. Inserting a cDNA in the MCS downstream of the mCherry coding sequence joins your protein of interest to the C-terminus of the tag, and allows the fusion protein to be tracked and studied in transduced cells. To package the vector into high-titer, replication-incompetent retrovirus, we recommend using the Retro-X Universal Packaging System (Cat. No. 631530).
