Synapsin-FLPo Lentivirus
Description: FLP
originally identified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a site-specific
recombinases (SSR) from the λ integrase family and recognizes distinct 34 bp
FRT sequence. It has been widely used for generating conditional knockout
mice, mediated by FLP/FRT system. Initial use of FLP in mammalian cells
revealed inefficient recombinase activity due to thermo-instability of the FLP
protein. Subsequent screening for thermo-stable mutants resulted in the
identification of FLPe which was 4-fold increase in recombination efficiency
at 37 °C. However the recombination efficiency of FLPe in cells remains very
low because of its non-mammalian origin.
FLPo is a mouse codon optimized FLPe that greatly increases the FRT
recombination efficiency for both in vivo and in vitro in mouse. The
LV-Syn-FLPo
is a
pre-made lentivirus which
over-expresses the FLPo recombinase under the human Synapsin promoter which
directs the FLPo expression primarily in neurons. Ready to use format.
