New Far-Red Lentiviral Vector

pLVmKate2-C is a lentivirus expression vector encoding far-red fluorescent protein mKate2. The vector allows generation of fusions to the mKate2 C-terminus and expression of mKate2 fusions or mKate2 alone in eukaryotic (mammalian) cells.

Several other versions of this vector will be available soon.

Low toxicity demonstrated in transgenic Xenopus laevis embryos, makes mKate2 a superior fluorescent tag for imaging in living tissues

• Bright far-red fluorescence
• Monomer with successful performance in fusions
• High pH- and photostability
• Fluorescent signal is easily distinguished from background fluorescence
• Recommended for protein labeling

Generation of fusions to the mKate2 C-terminus and production of recombinant viruses is available through our custom services.
