SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC. ECOP shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles: sc-89730-V BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS ECOP (EGFR-coamplified and overexpressed protein), also known as VOPP1 ECOP shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles is recommended for the inhibition of (vesicular, overexpressed in cancer, prosurvival protein 1) or GASP (glioblas- ECOP expression in human cells. toma-amplified secreted protein), is a 172 amino acid protein that is coam- plified with EGFR and overexpressed in multiple glioblastomas. Highly ex- SUPPORT REAGENTS pressed in ovary and thymus, ECOP is found at moderate levels in testis, Control shRNA Lentiviral Particles: sc-108080. Available as 200 µl frozen colon, small intestine, and spleen, and at low levels in liver, placenta and viral stock containing 1.0 x 106 infectious units of virus (IFU); contains an κ prostate. ECOP regulates NF B signaling and may have a role in resistance shRNA construct encoding a scrambled sequence that will not lead to the to apoptosis. The gene encoding ECOP maps to human chromosome 7, which specific degradation of any known cellular mRNA. houses over 1,000 genes, comprises nearly 5% of the human genome and has been linked to Osteogenesis imperfecta, Pendred syndrome, Lissencephaly, RT-PCR REAGENTS Citrullinemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR may be performed to monitor ECOP gene expres- REFERENCES sion knockdown using RT-PCR Primer: ECOP (h)-PR: sc-89730-PR (20 µl).

ECOP shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles are concentrated, transduction-ready viral particles containing a target-specific construct that encodes a 19-25 nt (plus hairpin) shRNA designed to knock down gene expression. Each vial contains 200 µl frozen stock containing 1.0 x 106 infectious units of virus (IFU) in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium with 25 mM HEPES pH 7.3. Suitable for 10-20 transductions. Also see ECOP siRNA (h): sc-89730 and ECOP shRNA Plasmid (h): sc-89730-SH as alternate gene silencing products. STORAGE Store lentiviral particles at -80º C. Stable for at least one year from the date of shipment. Once thawed, particles can be stored at 4º C for up to one week. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles.
