LV-CAG-mCherry

Product Category: Pre-made recombinant lentivirus | LV-CAG-mCherry | LV-CBA-mCherry | CAG-mCherry Lentivirus

Description: LV-CAG-mCherry is a pre-packaged recombinant lentiviral vector that drives robust expression of the red fluorescent protein mCherry under the control of the CAG promoter (also known as the CBA promoter), a hybrid promoter composed of the CMV immediate early enhancer, the chicken β-actin promoter, and a rabbit β-globin splice acceptor. This promoter is widely used for its strong, ubiquitous expression across a broad range of mammalian cell types, including primary cells and stem cells.

The mCherry reporter provides bright, stable red fluorescence, enabling efficient visualization, tracking, and quantification of transduced cells in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. LV-CAG-mCherry is suitable for applications such as monitoring transduction efficiency, cell lineage tracing, and fluorescent labeling of cell populations.

The virus is supplied in a ready-to-use format, allowing researchers to bypass vector construction and viral packaging steps and proceed directly to experimental applications.
