Inducible to Give You Control
Many traditional cell lines are limited to transient or constitutive expression. The T-REx™ system allows tight control and yields high levels of induced expression.
Overview
The T-REx™ system is based on Tet-regulated expression. T-REx™ cell lines can be used to regulate expression of gene sequences, shRNAs, and miRNAs. The T-REx™ system uses a strong CMV promoter and does not rely on viral transactivators.
Invitrogen Custom Services can develop a host T-REx™ cell line expressing the Tet repressor and/or a T-REx™ expression cell line facilitating the induction of your gene of interest in your cell line of interest depending on your needs and budget.
