3.0 OVERVIEW
3.1 Description
The pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector contains the beta-lactamase reporter gene under the transcriptional control of
the Upstream Activator Sequence (UAS) response element. This vector can be used with the ViraPower
Lentiviral Expression System to create a lentiviral stock. The lentiviral stock can then be used to transduce any
cell line of interest to become a UAS-bla cell line.
The Gal4-UAS system can be used for reporter gene assays. Gal4 is a commonly-used yeast transcriptional
activator, and the Gal4 DNA-binding domain (DBD) is capable of binding to UAS. Beta lactamase is a powerful
reporter gene that allows for ratiometric reporter responses with minimal experimental noise, and is expressed
when the Gal4 DBD binds to the UAS response element.
This vector is compatible with our pLenti-zeo/CMV-GAL4 DEST vector (available separately, Cat no. K1280),
which is a Gateway®-ready destination vector that contains the Gal4 DBD controlled by the human
cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter. For example, a nuclear receptor ligand binding domain
(LBD) of interest can be fused to Gal4 DBD in the pLenti-zeo/CMV-GAL4 DEST vector. The vector is transfected
into a UAS-bla cell line, and agonist binding to the nuclear receptor LBD would result in Gal4 DBD binding to the
UAS, and expression of beta lactamase..
To use the ViraPowerLentiviral Expression System to create a UAS-bla cell line, simply:
1) Co-transfect the pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector and the ViraPower packaging mix into the 293FT cell
line to produce lentivirus
2) Transduce the cell line of your choice with your lentiviral stock.
Note: DO NOT transfect pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector into your cell line using standard lipid transfection
reagents. After transduction with lentivirus, use Hygromycin selection to obtain a stable cell line, if
desired. Refer to the ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System manual for more details.

4.0 METHODS
4.1 Using the Vector Directly for Lentivirus Production
You may use the pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector directly as supplied for transfection into 293FT cells to produce
lentivirus using the ViraPowerLentiviral Expression System. You may also propagate and purify vector DNA as
described below.
4.2 Propagating the Vector
To propagate and maintain the pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector, we recommend using One Shot® Stbl3 Chemically
Competent E. coli (available separately from Invitrogen) to reduce the likelihood of unwanted recombination.
Select for transformants on LB agar plates containing 100 μg/ml ampicillin, and analyze the transformants as
described below.
4.3 Analyzing Transformants
We recommend analyzing the transformants using restriction digestion analysis. This ensures that aberrant
recombination has not occurred between the plasmid LTRs of the pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector. You will screen
colonies by performing miniprep DNA isolation and restriction analysis to validate the clones. After verifying the
correct clones, you will use the miniprep DNA to re-transform E. coli. You will then isolate plasmid DNA for
transfection and lentivirus production. Plasmid DNA for transfection into 293FT cells must be very clean and free
from contaminants and salts, and should be isolated by midiprep.
Important: We recommend using E. coli that is wild type for endonuclease 1 (endA1+). When performing
plasmid DNA isolation with commercially available kits, ensure that Solution I of the Lysis buffer (often
called Resuspension Buffer) contains 10 mM EDTA to inactivate the endonuclease to avoid DNA nicking
and vector degradation. Alternatively, follow the instructions included in the plasmid purification kits for
endA1+ E. coli strains. We recommend using the PureLink HQ Mini Plasmid Purification Kit and
preparing lentiviral plasmid DNA using S.N.A.P. MidiPrep Kits.
Restriction Digest Guidelines
To confirm that no rearrangement in the LTR regions has taken place, perform restriction digests using a
combination of Afl II and Cla I. Afl II sites are present in both LTRs, and the Cla I site is present before the 7X UAS
sequence. After digestion with these enzymes, 3 DNA fragments are generated from the Afl II + Cla I digest. Any
unexpected DNA fragments are a result of LTR recombination.
Materials Needed
You will need the following materials:
LB medium containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin
PureLink HQ Mini Plasmid Purification Kit or equivalent
Afl II and Cla I restriction enzymes and buffers
E-Gels® 1.2% agarose gels or equivalent
S.N.A.P. MidiPrep Kit or equivalent
Screening Colonies by Miniprep
For each transformation, pick 10-20 colonies from plates obtained after plating the transformation mix. Culture
them overnight in LB medium containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin.
Isolate plasmid DNA using PureLink HQ Mini Plasmid Purification Kit or equivalent. The typical yield of
pLenti DNA with PureLink HQ Mini Plasmid Purification Kit is ~ 5-7 µg, which is lower than the average DNA
yield using this purification kit. Perform restriction digests on plasmid DNA, and analyze the digested DNA on
0.8% or 1.2% agarose gels to confirm the correct clones.
What You Should See
Depending on the restriction sites you are using, you should be able to determine the number and size of bands
you should obtain from your digestion. Agarose gel analysis should show the correct digestion pattern.
Additional or unexpected bands indicate aberrant recombination of the lentiviral vector.

4.4 Isolating Lentiviral Plasmid DNA
This protocol provides general steps to retransform E. coli and perform isolation of plasmid DNA for lentivirus
production. pLenti plasmid DNA midipreps often have lower yields; therefore, a 100 ml volume of culture must
be used for one DNA midiprep.
1. Dilute 1 µl of miniprep plasmid DNA from a positive clone 1:500 in TE.
2. Use 1 µl of this diluted DNA to retransform competent E. coli.
3. Plate approximately one-tenth of the transformation on LB plates containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin
and incubate at 37°C overnight.
4. Pick 1 colony and culture in 2-3 ml LB medium containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin for 6-8 hours at 37°C
to obtain a starter culture.
5. Inoculate the entire volume of the starter culture into LB medium containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin
and culture at 37°C overnight.
Note: Use a 100 ml volume for large scale or midiprep isolation of DNA.
6. Isolate plasmid DNA using S.N.A.P. MidiPrep Kit or equivalent.
Note: For best results using the S.N.A.P. MidiPrep Kit, split the 100 ml culture into two 50-ml tubes
and process as if they were separate samples. Run both samples over the same DNA binding
column B, (i.e. perform two spins) and treat as a single DNA prep in subsequent steps.
7. Perform restriction analysis as described on the previous page.
8. Use the purified plasmid DNA from the positive clone for producing the lentivirus.
Note: Typical DNA yield should be ~300-400 µg and the O.D. 260/280 ratio should be between 1.8 and
2.1.
DNA Isolation Guidelines
Once you have generated and validated your clone you will isolate plasmid DNA for transfection. Plasmid DNA
for transfection into eukaryotic cells must be very clean and free from contamination with phenol and sodium
chloride. Contaminants will kill the cells, and salt will interfere with lipid complexing, decreasing transfection
efficiency. We recommend isolating lentiviral plasmid DNA using the S.N.A.P. MidiPrep Kit.
Important: Do not use mini-prep plasmid DNA for lentivirus production.
Maintaining the Expression Clone
Once you have generated your expression clone, maintain and propagate the plasmid in LB medium containing
100 μg/ml ampicillin.
Long Term Storage
Once you have identified the correct clone, be sure to purify the colony and make a glycerol stock for long term
storage. We recommend that you store a stock of plasmid DNA at -20°C.
1. Streak the original colony out for single colonies on LB plates containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin.
2. Isolate a single colony and inoculate into 1-2 ml of LB containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin.
3. Grow until culture reaches stationary phase.
4. Mix 0.85 ml of culture with 0.15 ml of sterile glycerol and transfer to a cryovial. Store at -80°C.

5.0 VIRAPOWER LENTIVIRAL EXPRESSION SYSTEM OVERVIEW
5.1 ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System
The pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector may be used in combination with the ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System
for viral transduction of mammalian cells. The ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System facilitates highly
efficient delivery of genes to dividing and non-dividing mammalian cells using a replication-incompetent
lentivirus. Based on the lentikat system developed by Cell Genesys (Dull et. al., 1998), the ViraPower Lentiviral
Expression System possesses features which enhance its biosafety while allowing high-level gene expression in a
wider range of cell types than traditional retroviral systems.
The ViraPower Packaging Mix provides a pre-optimized mix of plasmids that produce the lentiviral packaging
proteins (gag/pol and rev) and the VSV-G envelope protein. The VSV-G envelope gives the viral particles the
ability to transduce a broad range of mammalian cells. The human 293FT Cell Line is supplied with the
ViraPower Lentiviral Expression kits to facilitate optimal lentivirus production (Naldini et al., 1996). The 293FT
Cell Line, a derivative of the 293F Cell Line stably and constitutively expresses the SV40 large T antigen from
pSPORTR6Tag.neo, and must be maintained in medium containing Geneticin®.
To use the ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System, co-transfect the pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector along with the
optimized ViraPower Lentiviral Packaging Mix into 293FT producer cells. In 24-48 hours harvest the
supernatant, which now has replication-incompetent viral particles. Since the packaging proteins are provided in
trans, these plasmids are not part of the final viral particles. You can use this supernatant to efficiently transduce
any mammalian cell. Each transfection produces sufficient supernatant for multiple transduction experiments.

6.0 BIOSAFETY LEVEL AND HANDLING
The pLenti-hygro/UAS-bla vector should be handled at Biosafety Level 1 and virus produced by this method
should be handled at Biosafety Level 2.
Handle all lentiviruses in compliance with established institutional guidelines. Since safety requirements for use
and handling of lentiviruses may vary at individual institutions, we recommend consulting the health and safety
guidelines and/or officers at your institution prior to use of the ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System.
The ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System is a third-generation system based on lentiviral vectors developed
by Dull et al., 1998 . This third-generation lentiviral system includes a significant number of safety features
designed to enhance its biosafety and to minimize its relation to the wild-type, human HIV-1 virus
For a full description of the biosafety features of the ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System, refer to the
product manual, available at www.invitrogen.com.
