SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC. Rlf shRNA Plasmid (h): sc-88789-SH

BACKGROUND PRODUCT 1 is the largest human chromosome spanning about 260 million Rlf shRNA Plasmid (h) is a pool of 3 target-specific lentiviral vector plasmids base pairs and making up 8% of the . There are about 3,000 each encoding 19-25 nt (plus hairpin) shRNAs designed to knock down on , and considering the great number of genes there are expression. Each plasmid contains a puromycin resistance gene for the selec- also a large number of diseases associated with chromosome 1. Notably, the tion of cells stably expressing shRNA. Each vial contains 20 µg of lyophiliz- rare aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria is associated with the LMNA ed shRNA plasmid DNA. Suitable for up to 20 transfections. Also see Rlf gene which encodes Lamin A. When defective, the LMNA gene product can siRNA (h): sc-88789 and Rlf shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles: sc-88789-V as build up in the nucleus and cause characteristic nuclear blebs.

Once resuspended, store at point has been identified in 1q which disrupts the DISC1 gene and is linked to 4° C for short term storage or -80° C for long term storage. Avoid repeated schizophrenia. Aberrations in chromosome 1 are found in a variety of cancers freeze thaw cycles. including head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma and multiple myeloma. Resuspend lyophilized shRNA plasmid DNA in 200 µl of the deionized water REFERENCES provided. Resuspension of the shRNA plasmid DNA in 200 µl of deionized water makes a 0.1 µg/µl solution in a 10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA buffered 1.
