pCMV-Script Vectors
The pCMV-Script vector is derived from a high-copy-number pUC-based plasmid and is designed to allow protein expression in mammalian systems. Mammalian expression is driven by the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter to promote constitutive expression of cloned inserts in a wide variety of cell lines. Selection is made possible in bacteria by the kanamycin-resistance gene under control of the prokaryotic ß-lactamase promoter. The neomycin-resistance gene is driven by the SV40 early promoter, which provides stable selection with G418 in mammalian cells.
