FAM198B Lentiviral Activation Particles (h): sc-409269-LAC
- Target species: human
- 200 µl of transduction-ready, high-titer CRISPR/dCas9 Lentiviral Activation Particles
- FAM198B 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
- FAM198B 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 FAM198B Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (h) and FAM198B Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (h2) target distinct regulatory regions of the FAM198B promoter. One or both designs may be available

FAM198B encodes a secreted or lumenal protein implicated in regulation of cell–matrix communication and tissue remodeling, with reported links to epithelial differentiation and microenvironmental signaling. Transcriptomic and functional studies have associated FAM198B with processes including cell adhesion, migration, and extracellular matrix organization, suggesting roles in pathways that shape cellular polarity and intercellular interactions. Altered FAM198B expression has been observed across multiple tumor contexts and developmental states, supporting its utility as a molecular readout in studies of invasion, stromal interactions, and lineage-specific gene regulation. These features make FAM198B a relevant target for mechanistic interrogation in cancer biology, fibrosis-related signaling, and cell state transitions.
FAM198B 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 FAM198B upregulation across a broader range of human cell types.
FAM198B 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 FAM198B transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act cooperatively to recruit endogenous transcriptional machinery and drive sustained upregulation of endogenous FAM198B expression. The use of nuclease-inactive dCas9 avoids the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks and preserves the native FAM198B 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.
