What is Stbl3 competent cells?
What is Stbl3 competent cells?
MultiShot FlexPlate Stbl3 competent E. coli cells are designed especially for cloning direct repeats found in lentiviral expression vectors. coli, these cells reduce the frequency of homologous recombination of long terminal repeats (LTRs) found in ViraPower Lentiviral Expression vectors and other retroviral vectors.
How do you make a competent cell Stbl3?
Preparation: Use glycerol stock or stock of existing competent Stbl2 to streak cells for single colonies on LB plate without antibiotics and grow over night in bacterial incubator (37°C)….Mark.

What are Stbl3?
The Stbl3™ E. coli strain is derived from the HB101 E. coli strain and is recommended for use when cloning unstable inserts such as lentiviral DNA containing direct repeats (e.g., Invitrogen® ViraPower™ Lentiviral Expression kits).
Why are lentiviruses used?
Use as a vector Some experimental applications of lentiviral vectors have been done in gene therapy in order to cure diseases like Diabetes mellitus, Murine haemophilia A, prostate cancer, chronic granulomatous disease, and vascular diseases.
What is E coli HB101?
Applications: Ideal for sub-cloning and scale-up applications. HB101 strain is a hybrid K12 x B bacterium, containing the recA13 mutation that minimizes recombination and aidsin insert stability.
How do you make a cell competent?
Cells must remain cold for the rest of the procedure: Transport tubes on ice and resuspend on ice in the cold room. Decant supernatant and resuspend the cells in 1/4 original volume (87.5 ml) ice cold 100 mM MgCl2. Hold on ice for 5 minutes. Transfer the cells to pre-chilled sterile large centrifuge bottles.
What is Inoue method?
Heat/chemical shock transformation method is a quick, economical method for transforming (inducing cell uptake of) self-propagating DNAs (plasmids). The Inoue method(1) starts by arresting culture growth in exponential phase, in which the cell wall is least developed, facilitating passage of DNA.
What is the difference between Stbl2 and Stbl3?
Stbl2 colonies achieved 1-mm diameter in approximately 24 hrs at 30°C. This population of colonies all carried plasmid clones with deletions (33 of 33 colonies analyzed). Stbl3 colonies achieved 1-mm diameter in 18-20 hrs at 30°C.
What is TOP10 cells?
TOP10 cells are lacIq- (minus). They do not have the lacIq gene and therefore do not produce the lacIq repressor protein. lacIq is most commonly found on an F’ episome, and therefore is present in TOP10F’, JM101, JM109, and NM522 strains.
Why are lentiviruses good for gene therapy?
Gene therapy vectors derived from lentiviruses offer many potentially unique advantages over more conventional retroviral gene delivery systems. Principal amongst these is their ability to provide long-term and stable gene expression and to infect non-dividing cells, such as neurons.
What is the purpose of Invitrogen TRIzol reagent?
Product information. Invitrogen ™ TRIzol Reagent is a ready-to-use reagent, designed to isolate high quality total RNA (as well as DNA and proteins) from cell and tissue samples of human, animal, plant, yeast, or bacterial origin, within one hour.
When to use Invitrogen stbl2 or stbl4 competent cells?
Invitrogen Stbl2 and Stbl4 competent cells are both designed to improve stability when cloning retroviral or direct repeat sequences. In a series of experiments, Stbl2 was compared directly to several other strains also known for increasing stability of retroviral and tandem repeat inserts.
What is the transformation efficiency of one shot stbl3?
The transformation efficiency of One Shot® Stbl3™ chemically competent cells is greater than 1 × 10 8 cfu/µg plasmid DNA. We offer a variety of competent cells for the propagation of unstable DNA inserts.
How does the TRIzol reagent work in lysis?
TRIzol reagent is a mono-phasic solution of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate. During tissue homogenization or lysis, the TRIzol reagent maintains RNA integrity, while disrupting cells and dissolving cell components.
