CpG-FREE DNA 6<br />

CpG-Free Genes - Synthetic CpG-free Genes<br />

Many non-mammalian genes are widely used as reporter or suicide genes <strong>in</strong> molecular and cellular studies. However these genes are recognized<br />

as foreign DNA by the vertebrate host lead<strong>in</strong>g to a progressive decl<strong>in</strong>e of their expression. To circumvent this limitation, InvivoGen has<br />

synthesized new alleles of these genes completely devoid of CpG d<strong>in</strong>ucleotides. These synthetic CpG-free genes display higher activity and<br />

lower immunogenicity than their wild-type counterparts.<br />

Description<br />

The DNA sequence of the CpG-free genes was modified by optimiz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the codon usage, elim<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g the CpG nucleotides and avoid<strong>in</strong>g secondary<br />

DNA structures without chang<strong>in</strong>g the am<strong>in</strong>o acid sequence of the wild<br />

type prote<strong>in</strong>s.<br />

CpG-free genes were chemically synthesized by assembl<strong>in</strong>g large<br />

oligonucleotides. Sequence <strong>in</strong>tegrity was verified by double-stranded<br />

sequenc<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

CpG-free genes are provided <strong>in</strong> the pSELECT-zeo plasmid (see page 32).<br />

pSELECT-zeo is a mammalian expression plasmid selectable <strong>in</strong> E. coli and<br />

mammalian cells with Zeoc<strong>in</strong> . Each CpG-free gene is flanked by a unique<br />

restriction site at the 5’ and 3’ end to facilitate its subclon<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to another<br />

vector.<br />

Contents and Storage<br />

Each pSELECT-zeo- plasmid is provided as 20 μg of<br />

lyophilized DNA. Product is shipped at room temperature and should<br />

be stored at -20°C. Plasmid is stable up to one year when properly stored.<br />

Each plasmid is supplied with 4 pouches of E. coli Fast-Media ® Zeo (2 TB<br />

and 2 Agar, see pages 44-45).<br />
