The ViraPower™ HiPerform™ Promoterless Gateway™ Expression System includes all the components needed to generate lentivirus, including vector kit, 293FT cell line, and the support kit. This kit combines Invitrogen’s ViraPower™ HiPerform™ Lentiviral and MultiSite Gateway™ technologies to facilitate easy recombination-based cloning and lentiviral-based high-level expression of a target gene from any promoter of choice in dividing and non-dividing mammalian cells. The promoterless pLenti6.4⁄R4R2⁄V5-DEST™ vector is equipped with two key genetic elements, making it a HiPerform™ vector: the Woodchuck Posttranscriptional Regulatory Element (WPRE) and the central Polypurine Tract (cPPT) sequence from the HIV-1 integrase gene to produce at least 4-fold increase in protein expression compared to vectors lacking these elements.

Advantages
• Generates replication-incompetent lentivirus for transducing dividing and non-dividing mammalian cells
• Easy, simultaneous, recombination-based cloning of multiple DNA fragments in a defined order and orientation using MultiSite Gateway™ technology
• Expression of the target gene under the control of a promoter of choice
• Stable, long-term expression
• Enhanced protein expression, up to 4-fold or greater, compared to traditional lentiviral expression systems


Key Features
• WPRE from the woodchuck hepatitis virus, increases transgene expression and cPPT from the HIV-1 integrase gene, increases the copy number of lentivirus integrating into the host genome, thus increasing viral titer. WPRE and cPPT together produce at least a four-fold increase in protein expression in most cell types, compared to other vectors that do not contain these elements.
• Promoterless vector to express the target gene under the control of a promoter of choice
• Blasticidin selection marker for stable selection under control of PGK promoter for long-term, persistent expression

    Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

    Can I perform the single-step protocol for the BP/LR Clonase reaction using BP Clonase enzyme and LR Clonase enzyme instead of BP Clonase II enzyme and LR Clonase II enzyme?

    In the single-step protocol for the BP/LR Clonase reaction, we would not recommend substituting the BP Clonase II/LR Clonase II enzymes with BP Clonase /LR Clonase enzymes as this would result in very low recombination efficiency.

    Do you have a recommended single-step protocol for BP/LR recombination?

    Yes, we have come up with a single-step protocol for BP/LR Clonase reaction (http://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/cloning/gateway-cloning.html#1), where DNA fragments can be cloned into Destination vectors in a single step reaction, allowing you to save time and money.

    How can I move my gene of interest from a Gateway-adapted expression clone to a new Destination vector as I have lost the entry clone?

    We would recommend performing a BP reaction with a Donor vector in order to obtain an entry clone. This entry clone can then be used in an LR reaction with the Destination vector to obtain the new expression clone.

    Can I purchase the 5X LR Clonase buffer or 5X BP Clonase buffer separately?

    We do not offer the 5X LR Clonase buffer and 5X BP Clonase buffer as standalone products. They are available as part of the enzyme kits.

    Do you offer Gateway vectors for expression in plants?

    We do not offer any Gateway vectors for expression in plants.
