Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In theory, one can get multiple integrations of the Flp-In expression construct—an FRT-specific integration event and a random, second-site integration. However, random integration is a relatively uncommon event. Limiting the amount of DNA in the transfection will reduce the chance of second-site integration. We have transfected 293 cells (lacking the FRT site) with the pcDNA5/FRT vector and have identified one potential second-site integrant after screening over 200 clones. DNA integrations can be detected by Southern blot. A single integrant will display a single band; double: two; triple: three, etc. We have maintained a number of Flp-In expression cell lines for over four months and have not observed any loss of the Flp-In expression construct, whether hygromycin selection was maintained or not.
We offer the Flp-In T-REx system that contains pFRT/lacZeo and pcDNA6/TR stably integrated into HEK 293 cells. This cell line has been functionally tested for its ability to regulate expression.
