EMR1 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h): sc-400698-LAC
- Target species: human
- 200 µl of transduction-ready, high-titer CRISPR/dCas9 Lentiviral Activation Particles
- EMR1 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
- EMR1 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 EMR1 Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (h) and EMR1 Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (h2) target distinct regulatory regions of the ADGRE1 promoter. One or both designs may be available
- Following transfection, gene activation efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: F4/80 Antibody (C-7): sc-377009

ADGRE1 encodes EMR1, an adhesion G protein–coupled receptor of the EGF-TM7 family that is highly associated with myeloid cell biology and immune microenvironment sensing. EMR1 participates in cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions through its extracellular EGF-like domains and can influence processes such as leukocyte adhesion, tissue infiltration, and macrophage functional polarization. As part of broader GPCR-linked signaling and innate immune programs, EMR1 is commonly used as a marker to profile myeloid lineage states and inflammatory remodeling in tissues. Dysregulated myeloid activation and altered EMR1-associated signatures are relevant to studies of chronic inflammation, tumor-associated macrophage biology, and fibrotic or immune-mediated pathologies.
EMR1 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) address this need by packaging the complete synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcriptional activation system into transduction-ready, high-titer lentiviral particles, enabling efficient ADGRE1 upregulation across a broader range of human cell types.
EMR1 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) deliver all functional components of the synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system via lentiviral transduction. The system comprises three particle preparations co-transduced into target cells: one encoding catalytically inactive dCas9 (D10A and N863A mutations) fused to the VP64 transactivation domain with a blasticidin resistance gene; one encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein with a hygromycin resistance gene; and one encoding a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers with a puromycin resistance gene. Following lentiviral transduction and genomic integration of the expression cassettes, the SAM components are stably expressed and assemble at the target locus within the proximal promoter region upstream of the ADGRE1 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act cooperatively to recruit endogenous transcriptional machinery and drive sustained upregulation of endogenous EMR1 expression. The use of nuclease-inactive dCas9 avoids the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks and preserves the native ADGRE1 genomic locus and regulatory architecture.
The lentiviral format offers several practical advantages: stable genomic integration supports heritable activation across cell divisions; high-titer particle preparations eliminate the need for in-house viral production; and compatibility with primary, non-dividing, and transfection-resistant cell types expands experimental accessibility. Successful transduction can be confirmed and enriched through triple antibiotic selection using puromycin, hygromycin, and blasticidin.
