pcDNA3.1+ zeo

pcDNA3.1+ zeo/ ΔpCMV, based on pcDNA3.1+; no promoter; ampicillin and zeocin resistance
Aliases: AY2, MV8



Usage and Biology

  • Select with ampicillin in E. coli
  • Select with zeocin in mammalian cells

Mammalian DNA transfection vector. Great for temporary expression of your gene of interest, but transfection isn't 100% (for us, around 10%). The zeocin marker enables zeocin selection of mammalian cells that carry the plasmid. Long term selection leads to random insertion: a population of cells that have the plasmid (or multiple copies) inserted into a random spot in one or more chromosomes.
