The InsectSelect™ Glow Kit features the pIZT/V5-His vector for high-level expression of your
gene of interest. This vector has the following features:

• The OpIE2 promoter for constitutive expression
• The Zeocin™ resistance gene for rapid selection of stably transfected cell lines
• C-terminal V5 epitope and polyhistidine (6xHis) sequence for detection with Invitrogen's Anti-V5 Antibody and rapid purification with nickel-chelating resin

In addition, pIZT/V5-His expresses a fusion of the green fluorescent protein and the Zeocin™ resistance
protein (Zeo-GFP). The Zeo-GFP fusion protein permits rapid selection of stably transfected cell lines
with Zeocin™ and confers a fluorescent phenotype that simplifies identification of transfected cells.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Contents & Storage
The InsectSelect™ Glow Kit includes 20 μg each of supercoiled, lyophilized pIZT/V5-His and pIZT/V5-His/CAT, 2 μg each of lyophilized OpIE2 Forward and Reverse Sequencing primers, 1 g Zeocin,™ Cellfectin™ Reagent, Sf9 cells, and 1 L of GIBCO™ Grace's Insect Media. The pIZT/V5-His Vector Kit contains only the expression vectors and primers as described above. Store frozen insect cells in liquid nitrogen. Store medium and Cellfectin™ Reagent at +4°C. Store all other reagents at -20°C. All reagents are guaranteed stable for 6 months when properly stored.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Does the incubator need to be humidified when culturing insect cells?

Humidification is only necessary for monolayer cultures and suspension cultures with volumes less than 35 mL. With shaker or spinner cultures greater than 35 mL, humidification is not necessary.

Plants are attacked by a broad array of herbivores and pathogens. In response, plants deploy an arsenal of defensive traits. In Brassicaceae, the glucosinolate-myrosinase complex is a sophisticated two-component system to ward off opponents. However, this so-called  ... More

Punctin (ADAMTSL-1) is a secreted molecule resembling members of the ADAMTS family of proteases. Punctin lacks the pro-metalloprotease and the disintegrin-like domain typical of this family but contains other ADAMTS domains in precise order including four thrombospondin type I repeats. Punctin is the product of a distinct gene on human ... More
