MISSION LentiPlex Pooled shRNA Libraries bring the power of the MISSION TRC shRNA collection together with Sigma's lentiviral manufacturing expertise to enable genome-wide RNAi screens on your bench-top. The LentiPlex pooled system provides enhanced delivery and long-term gene silencing in non-dividing and primary cell lines allowing unlimited discovery potential. The convenient format now makes rapid whole-genome RNAi screens accessible to any researcher with minimal reagent, time or capital equipment investment.

• Comprehensive – Trusted TRC content with shRNA targeting 20,000+ human or 21,000+ mouse genes
  
• Coverage – Average of 5–6 clones targeting each gene
• Quality – Proprietary methodology ensures uniformity and complete library coverage
• Universal – Simplified whole genome RNAi screening in standard or difficult to expand cell lines
• Accessible – Bench top discovery without robotics or liquid handling system
• Versatile – Compatible with FACS and most downstream fluorescent assays

Product Specifications

The MISSION LentiPlex Human and Mouse Pooled shRNA consist of ~130,000 (over 43,000 validated) shRNA constructs targeting 20,000+ human genes and ~118,000 (over 36,000 validated) shRNA constructs targeting 21,000+ mouse genes. Each library is tested for shRNA representation before product release to ensure robust library coverage and is provided in ready-to-use lentiviral format at titers of at least 5 x 10⁸ TU/ml via p24 assay. The MISSION LentiPlex libraries are pre-divided into various subpools (see Table 1 and Table 2 below for number of subpools and approximate number of shRNA constructs represented in each). Amplification and sequencing primers are also provided for downstream target identification.

• Pre-aliquoted into subpools ranging from 5,500 to 8,000 shRNA constructs per pool
  
• Enough material for six screens at 100X representation
  
• Titers of at least 5 x 10⁸ TU/ml
  
• Amplification and sequencing primers provided

The MISSION LentiPlex Pooled shRNA Library System Overview

The LentiPlex Pooled shRNA Libraries contain the TRC collection(s) in matrix tubes. The pooled virus is added to your cell population at a predetermined MOI. Cells are incubated then exposed to selective pressure and selected based on desired phenotype or flow sorting. After selection, cells are then isolated by colony cloning or FACS and the integrated shRNA is identified via PCR, microarray or "Next Generation" sequencing. The identity of potential "hits" can then be used to develop hypotheses regarding the biological role of the corresponding gene(s).

Figure 1. Flow Sorting of Cells Transduced with the MISSION LentiPlex Pooled shRNA Library
J774 murine macrophage-like cells were transduced with the pooled mouse shRNA library and analyzed by flow cytometry. Transduced cells were selected in puromycin prior to FACS analysis. Both transduced and untransduced cells were stained with a mixture of FITC- and APC-conjugated primary antibodies. Cells with strong APC and weaker FITC staining were discovered and isolated as "hits" in the screen. These cells are indicated by the arrow in the upper left side of the contour plot (right). The TRC-designed pLKO.1 vector of the LentiPlex pooled constructs enables the isolation of populations using most common fluorescent reporters including FITC and GFP.
