pCMV-DsRed-Express is a mammalian expression vector designed for use as a cotransfection marker, together with an expression construct of interest. It constitutively expresses the red fluorescent protein DsRed-Express, which can be detected by fluorescence microscopy to provide direct visual evidence of transfection. Cells can also be sorted by flow cytometry to enrich for transfected cells.
pCMV-DsRed-Express Vector can be transfected into mammalian cells using any standard transfection method. If required, stable transfectants can be selected using G418.
