pRetroQ-AcGFP1-N1 Vector
The pRetroQ-AcGFP1-N1 vector is a high-titer, self-inactivating retroviral expression vector that is optimized to eliminate promoter interference from the upstream LTR in the integrated provirus. This vector expresses a green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea coerulescens. pRetroQ-AcGFP1-N1 allows cloning of genes into the multiple cloning site (MCS) upstream of the AcGFP1 coding sequence, which are subsequently expressed as fusions to the N-terminus of the AcGFP1 protein. This vector allows the expression of fluorescent fusion proteins in difficult-to-transfect cells. It also contains a puromycin selection marker for selection of stable integrants. The unmodified vector will express AcGFP1 protein and may be used to produce marker virus to optimize infection protocols.
Overview

Retroviral vectors expressing AcGFP1 and DsRed-Monomer fluorescent protein fusions
Retroviral vectors expressing AcGFP1 and DsRed-Monomer fluorescent protein fusions. pRetroQ-DsRed-Monomer-Golgi and pRetroQ-AcGFP1-Tubulin constructs were transfected individually into GP2-293 cells, and the VSV-G pseudotyped virus was harvested 48 hr posttransfection. These viral stocks were then used to coinfect HeLa cells, and expression was visualized 48 hr postinfection by fluorescent microscopy.
