pLVX-PAmCherry-C1 Vector is an HIV-1-based, lentiviral expression vector. Lentiviral particles derived from the vector allow you to infect cells and express your gene of interest fused to PAmCherry, a photoactivatable mutant of the fluorescent protein mCherry. PAmCherry is non-fluorescence until photoactivated by a short exposure to light at a wavelength between 350 nm and 400 nm. The excitation/emission wavelengths of photoactivated PAmCherry are 564 nm and 595 nm.
Genes cloned into the MCS will be expressed as fusions to the C-terminus of PAmCherry if they are in the same reading frame as PAmCherry and there are no intervening stop codons.
