Without TetR presence, the TetCMV is a constitutive promoter. The TetR protein can be delivered by the premade TetR lentivirus. The TetCMV driven expression is first stopped by TetR, then induced by addition of tetracycline or doxycycline. Storage: Store at < -70 C, avoid repeat freeze/thaw cycles. Stable for > 6 months. Product Description: Lentiviral particles or lentivirus is a gene delivery tool produced from lentivectors for gene expression or knockdown. AMSBIO s lentivector system are Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV) based

7 plasmids for gene expression and knockdown. The lentivectors are used to generate (lentivirus) that can be transduced into almost all kinds of mammalian cells, including stem cells, primary cells, and non-dividing cells both in vivo and in vitro. Lentiviral particles stably integrate into the transduced cell s genome for long term expression, making it a great gene transfer agent. Pre-made expressing fluorescent proteins are generated from AMSBIO s high expression lentiviral system. Each fluorescent protein is codon-optimized to demonstrate the strongest possible fluorescence signal and is available expressed under a selection of promoters. These lentivirus are available with a selection of different antibiotic markers, allowing selection of transduced stable cells. Please see the schematic lentivector structure below. The proprietary sucmv promoter demonstrates high expression level in the majority of cell types. The engineered EF1a promoter is non-tissue specific, highly expressed in all cell types, and less likely to be silenced after long-term culture. The CAG promoter--a hybrid of the CMV enhancer and the chicken beta-actin promoter--has the highest expression level in embryonic stem cells. The optional inducible CMV promoter (TetCMV) can be used for either constitutive high expression or tetracycline-inducible expression.

8 Expression lentivectors were co-transfected with packaging mix (Cat# HT-pack) into 293T cells (cat# TLV-C). The pre-made are VSV-G pseudotyped viruses. Each lot of virus is validated and quality is guaranteed. Particles are provided in two formats: Regular particles in DMEM medium with 10% FBS and 60 μg/ml polybrene (10 x stock) Particles concentrated and buffer exchanged into PBS for in vivo use AMSBIO also provides lentiviral services for cloning your gene of interest and generates ready-to-use viral particles with the best prices and fastest turnaround time. Please see our website for details. Transduction Protocols: 1) Transduction Protocol for Adhesive cells: Note: Pre-made lentivirus is provided ready to use, so it can be simply added into your cell culture; the amount of virus to add depends on the cell type. For quick transduction, add 50 µl of virus into each well of 24-well-plate where cell density is 50% to 75%. After 72 hours (no need to change medium), visualize positive transduction rate by fluorescent microscopy. For stable cell line generation, pass cells into medium containing antibiotic or perform fluorescent cell sorting followed by antibiotic selection. Day 0: Seed cells in complete medium at the appropriate density and incubate overnight. Note: at the time of transduction, cells should be 50%-75% confluent. For example, seed HeLa cells at 0.5 x 10 5 /ml x 0.5ml in a well of a 24-well plate.

9 Day 1: Remove the culture medium and add 0.5ml of fresh, warm, complete medium. Thaw the pre-made lentiviral stock at room temperature and add the appropriate amount of virus stock to obtain the desired MOI. Return cells to 37 C, CO2 incubator. Note: Try to avoid freezing and thawing. If you do not use all of the virus at one time, you may re-freeze the virus at -80 o C for future use; virus titer will decrease by ~10% for each freeze/thaw cycle. Day 3: At ~72hr after transduction, check the transduction rate by fluorescent microscopy or calculate the exact transduction rate by flow cytometer (FACS or Guava). Day 3 + (optional): Sort transduced cells by FACS, and select for antibiotic resistance. 2) Transduction Protocol for Suspension Cells: Grow cells in complete suspension culture medium; use a shaking flask in a CO2 incubator if necessary. Measure cell density. When density has reached ~3 x 10 6 cells/ml, measured viability should be > 90%. Dilute cells into 1 x 10 6 cell/ml in complete medium. Day 1: Thaw at room temperature. Add premade into the diluted cells at a ratio of: 50 to 100 µl virus per 0.5 ml of cells (Note: depending on cell type, you may need to use more or less virus). Grow cells in a shaking flask in a CO2 incubator. Day 2: Day 3: At 24 hours after transduction, add an equal amount of fresh medium containing relevant antibiotics. Note: amount of antibiotic depends on cell type. Continue growing cells in CO2 incubator. At 72 hours after transduction, check fluorescence with a fluorescence microscope or calculate the transduction efficiency using a cell sorter such as FACS or Guava. Sort for fluorescence positive cells and maintain antibiotic selection to generate a stable cell line.

RFP signal was visualized at 72 hours after transduction.

10 Transduction Example A: Figure 1: GFP Expression in HeLa cells. HeLa cells were transduced with 5 µl (Right image) or 50 µl (Left image) of Pre-made GFP lentivirus (LVP001) in 24-well plate (see protocol above). GFP signal was visualized at 72 hours after transduction. Transduction Example B:. Figure 2: RFP Expression in A549 cells. A549 cells were transduced with 50 µl Pre-made RFP lentivirus (LVP023) in 24-well plate. RFP signal was visualized at 72 hours after transduction. Images were taken under microscope, the left image under RFP filter, the right image under bright light. Transduction Example C: Figure 3: CFP Expression in HEK293 cells: Quick transduction protocol: add 50ul CFP lentivirus (LVP430) into one well in 24-well-plate where cell density is at 50% ~ 75%.

Note: Filter wavelength settings: BFP filter: ~Ex380 ~Em460; CFP filter: ~Ex436 ~Em480; GFP filter: ~Ex ~Em525; YFP filter: ~Ex500 ~Em535; RFP filter: ~Ex545 ~Em620; nirfp filter: ~Ex690 ~Em715 Safety Precaution: Amsbio have adopted the most advanced lentiviral safety features (using the third generation vectors with self-inactivation SIN-3UTR), and the premade lentivirus is replication incompetent. However, please use extra caution when using. Use the in Bio-safety II cabinet. Ware gloves at all times when handling lentiviral particles!
