Description: 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.  By optimizing the mammalian codon usage for 
Cre recombinase, Cre expression is improved in the mammalian cells. This codon-improved 
Cre (known as iCre) transgene shows lower CpG content from the prokaryotic 
coding sequence, thus reducing the chances of epigenetic silencing in mammals.
This  
LV-EF1α-iCre-Puro 
pre-made lentivirus expresses 
iCre recombinase with 
co-expression of puromycin selection in an IRES cassette under EF1α 
promoter. Ready to use 
format.
