pRep(A) [pREP]

87702

This is a Rous Sarcoma (RSV) derived vector (5? LTR, gag, pol and 5? env), for ligation with avian retroviral expression vectors (ATCC# 87699 ? 87701) to create proviral DNA capable of producing replication competent recombinant virus. The vector can be linearized with SalI for ligation to one of the RSV-derived expression vectors.The parental plasmid pSR-REP which encodes pol, derived from the Schmidt-Ruppin subgroup A strain of RSV, was described in Cell 34: 597-607, 1983. The pol sequence is derived from the Bryan strain of RSV and is more efficient in virus production after transfection.
