Human CD172a/SIRPA/SHPS1/MYD1/PTPNS1 Lentivirus, Full-length Gene in Lentivector, Pre-packaged Lentiviral Particles

Description

CD172a, also known as SIRPA (signal regulatory protein alpha), SHPS-1 (SHP substrate 1) and MyD-1 (Myeloid/Dendritic-1), is single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the SIRP/SHPS (CD172) family of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. CD172a contains 1 Ig-like V-type and 2 Ig-like C1-type domains in the extracellular region and a cytoplasmic tail with ITIM motifs that recruit tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2 when phosphorylated. CD172a is involved in the negative regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled signaling processes induced by cell adhesion, growth factors or insulin. CD172a is expressed mainly on myeloid cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic and Langerhans cells. It is also found on neurons, smooth muscle and endothelial cells. CD172a participates in signal transduction mediated by various growth factor receptors. CD172a supports adhesion of cerebellar neurons, neurite outgrowth and glial cell attachment. CD172a mediates negative regulation of phagocytosis, mast cell activation and dendritic cell activation. CD47 has been demonstrated to be a ligand for CD172a. CD47 binding prevents maturation of immature dendritic cells and inhibits cytokine production by mature dendritic cells. The CD47 integrin-CD172a interaction may promote macrophage fusion during osteoclastogenesis.

Pre-packaged lentiviral particles are most advanced gene delivery tools. Each particles contain a fully sequence verified target gene and are psudotyped with the VSV-G glycoprotein, ready for transduction into into a wide range of cell types including hard-to-transfect primary cells and non-dividing cells. They are supplied in 1-mL aliquot(s) of the serum-/antibiotic-free solution suitable for both in vitro and in vivo delivery. They are produced in HEK293 packaging cells with a typical titer of ≥10⁷ IFU/ml using our optimized LentPAK^TM packaging system. The lentiviral particles can be used to transduce subconfluent target cells. Depending on your purpose, you may choose a specific multiplicity of infection (MOI) or test a range of MOIs to determine which gives you the desired results. Transduction can be enhanced by the addition of polybrene, also known as hexadimethrine bromide (typically at 8-10 μg/ml). 

 

Quick Protocol for Transduction

 

Day 1. Seeding Target Cells

For an example, plate target cells in a 10 cm plate at a density of 1 - 5x 10⁵ cells/ml that will produce approximately 60% confluency in 24 hours.

 

Note: other size plates can also be used depending on the nature of your experiment. Adjust the reagent amount according to Table 1

 

Table 1. Seeding Density of Target Cells (1 day prior to transduction)

Vessel Type	Seeding Density	Volume of Media
10-cm dish	1 – 5 x 106	10 mL
6-well plate	0.3 – 1 x 106	2 mL/well
12-well plate	0.15 – 0.5 x 106	1 mL/well
24-well plate	0.6 – 2 x 105	0.5 mL/well
96-well plate	1 – 4 x 104	0.1 mL/well

  

Day 2. Transduction

Remove the growth media from the dish/plate prepared the day before. Replace with 1/2 volume of culture medium containing desired amount of lentiviral particles (at 2 to 20 MOI).  For example, add 4.5 mL of growth medium and 0.5 mL of Lentiviral particles, or simply add 5 mL of Lentiviral particles (for a low titer viral preparation or a high MOI transduction). Add polybrene directly to the media on the target cells at 8 μg/ml. Mix by gentle swirling.

 

Incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 4 - 24 hours, then replace the transduction medium with right amount of growth medium according to table 1 (for example 10 mL for 10-cm dish). Culture the cells for 48 – 72 hours, and transduced cells are ready for downstream analyses.

 

Note: Adjust volumes accordingly for transduction of other plate types.  For example, add 1 ml of growth medium and lentiviral particle mixture for 6-well plate, 0.5 ml for 12-well and 0.25 mL for 24-well except for 96 well, in which 100 μl should be used. The change of transduction medium is often unnecessary with our pre-packaged lentiviral particles.  Simply culture cells for 3-4 days before analysis. 

 

The virus-containing media can be changed in as short as 4 hours after transduction if toxicity of the lentiviral transduction is a concern. Normally reverse transcription and genome integration of the lentivector takes place within 24-36 hours. With our ready-to-use, prepackaged lentiviral particles, the change of media is often unnecessary. The transduction process can be ongoing for 2 - 6 days without significant impact on cell growth/viability. The transduction process can also be repeated if desired. For a lentivector with a fluorescent reporter (such as GFP), FACS can be used to enrich for cells that express GFP. If it contains a drug selectable marker, follow the protocol for the particular drug. For example, puromycin selection is usually carried out at 1-10 μg/mL, depending on the target cells’ sensitivity
