2A peptide-linked polycistronic vectors can be used to express multiple proteins from a single open reading frame (ORF). The small 2A peptide sequences, when cloned between genes, allows for efficient, stoichiometric production of discrete protein products within a single vector through a novel “cleavage” event within the 2A peptide sequence.
2A was discovered in the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV, a picornavirus). The 2A peptide acts through ribosomal skipping to allow for the encoding of polyproteins which can dissociate into individual proteins upon translation. Anti-T2A antibody recognises 2A tagged recombinant proteins and is an excellent tool for researchers using 2A peptide based expression systems.
Anti-T2A antibody
A high quality antibody against the T2A peptide
Andrew McKenzie and his team from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) enlisted the expertise of the team at Cambridge Research Biochemicals (CRB) to produce a highly specific antibody to the 2A peptide sequence. 2A was discovered in the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV, a picornavirus) and is used in cloning vectors. The team at MRC…
