200 µl of transduction-ready, high-titer CRISPR/dCas9 Lentiviral Activation Particles
CKR-5 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) is a synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcription activation system designed to specifically and efficiently upregulate gene expression via lentiviral transduction of cells
CKR-5 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) contain the following SAM Activation elements: a deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) nuclease (D10A and N863A) fused to the transactivation domain VP64, an MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA. They also contain the blasticidin, hygromycin and puromycin resistance genes
Upon transduction, the SAM complex binds to a site-specific region approximately 200-250 nt upstream of the transcriptional start site and provides robust recruitment of transcription factors for highly efficient gene activation
gRNAs encoded by CKR-5 Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (h) and CKR-5 Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (h2) target distinct regulatory regions of the CCR5 promoter. One or both designs may be available
Following transfection, gene activation efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: CKR-5 Antibody (D-6): sc-17833
