RNA-seq solution for low input and poor quality samples

The SMARTer Universal Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing produces cDNA from low concentrations of poor quality RNA, using random (N6) primers.

• Works with limited quantities of total RNA—as little as 2 ng
• Ideal for poor quality RNA samples such as FFPE and laser-capture dissection tissues
• Generates superior sequence data with a high ERCC correlation

Increase the effectiveness of your viral transductions

Clontech’s new Receptor Booster technology allows you to increase the density of viral receptor proteins on any cell surface—including cells generally resistant to viral infection. Available boosters include:

• Ecotropic Booster—Infect even human cells with ecotropic lentivirus or retrovirus
• CAR Booster—Transduce a broader range of cell types using adenovirus

Determine lentiviral/retroviral genomic integration sites

The site of viral integration into the host genome has important consequences for both the expression of your transgene and the phenotype of the host cell. Use Clontech’s new Viral Integration Site Analysis Kits to identify lentiviral or retroviral integration sites in your transduced cell clones or populations.

• Use GenomeWalker technology to amplify sequences adjacent to lentiviral or retroviral LTRs
• Compatible with all commonly used retroviral and lentiviral vectors

• Obtain promoters or regulatory sequences
• Map intron/exon junctions
• Determine integration sites for transposons and viruses
• Confirm genome modifications performed using zinc finger nucleases, TAL effector nucleases, or other methods

Magnetic beads for microscale his-tagged protein purification

His60 Ni Magnetic Beads offer a rapid and simple method for purifying small amounts of his-tagged protein.The modified Ni-IDA chemistry of His60 Ni makes this resin one of the best on the market in terms of capacity. The beads are designed for the microscale purification of high and low molecular weight recombinant his-tagged proteins under native or denaturing conditions, when placed on a magnetic separator.

Antibodies for iDimerize systems

iDimerize inducible protein expression systems allow you to control protein-protein interactions by using a small molecule ”dimerizer” ligand to induce dimerization of protein(s) of interest fused to Dmr tags. Dmr antibodies let you monitor the expression levels of your Dmr fusion proteins and are available for all three types of Dmr tags. The DmrB Monoclonal Antibody is the companion tool for iDimerize Inducible Homodimer Systems. The DmrA Monoclonal Antibody and DmrC Polyclonal Antibody are designed for use with any iDimerize Inducible Heterodimer Expression System and the iDimerize Regulated Transcription System.

Sensitive detection of Metridia luciferase

The Ready-To-Glow MetLuc Monoclonal Antibody makes it easy to detect Metridia luciferase. It is ideal for use with the Ready-To-Glow Secreted Luciferase System, a live-cell assay which is based on the secreted Metridia luciferase reporter.

• Detects as little as 20 ng of Metridia luciferase using Western blot analysis
• Recognizes Metridia luciferase expressed by mammalian cells, as well as recombinant Metridia luciferase

Precise, rapid control of protein-protein interactions

Protein-protein interactions trigger signal transduction cascades, induce protein accumulation at specific cellular locations, and control a host of other biological processes. One challenge in artificial control of protein-protein interactions is that proteins can dimerize simply because they are in close physical proximity—particularly if they are membrane proteins.

Now you can eliminate these unwanted events: we’ve combined iDimerize and Tet-On 3G technologies in the iDimerize Inducible Homodimer and Heterodimer Systems (with Tet-On 3G) to give you two-tiered control of protein behaviors:

1. First, use doxycycline to optimize the proteins’ expression to physiologically-relevant levels
2. Then induce dimerization by adding the dimerizer ligand to your culture medium
