Dear ALL; As an alternative strategy to avoid endotoxin, I plan to express the protein in mammalian cells.
As suggested by others, the typical vector is pcDNA3.1(+). Does anyone have comments on this vector or recommend some other powerful vectors? I am new to mammalian expression. I designed a Kozak sequence followed by a BSA signal peptide in order to clone the target into pcDNA3.1(+). Is it right? Tentative Kozak sequence: GAGCTCGGATCCGCCACCATGAAGTGGGTAACCTTTCTCCTCCTCCTCTTCATCTCCGGTTCTGCCTTTTCT Thanks a lot, Jerry
