Lentivirus EF1α-Cre-mCherry-Puro (2× 25 µl)

Cre recombinase is a type I topoisomerase from bacteriophage P1 that catalyzes the site-specific recombination of DNA between loxP sites. Cre recombinase is used as a tool to genetically modify genes, such as to delete a segment of DNA flanked by LoxP sites in cells or experimental animals.

This pre-made lentivirus LV-EF1α-Cre-mCherry-Puro expresses Cre recombinase fusion with mCherry with co-expression of puromycin resistance in an IRES expression cassette under EF1α promoter. Ready to use format.
