DescriptionTagRFP Simplicon® RNA Kit
Alternate Names
  • Self-replicating RNA
Background InformationSimplicon® is a novel system to effect immediate high sustained protein expression of the target gene(s) without the risk of integration. The technology employs a self-replicating RNA based on the Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) genome. Because Simplicon® is a synthetic RNA, there is no risk of the transgenes(s) integrating into the transfected cell's genome. Moreover, the self-replicating nature of the Simplicon® means that the target protein is continuously expressed in the presence of B18R protein and the selective agent, puromycin. The Simplicon™ technology has been successfully utilized for efficient human iPSC generation through the sustained expression of critical reprogramming factors, OKSG and OKSG-cMyc.
The Simplicon® TagRFP RNA kit was developed to enable the evaluation of the Simplicon® expression system in targeted cell(s) before ordering a custom Simplicon® RNA. Simplicon® TagRFP RNA kit may be used to determine optimal transfection conditions to express the self-replicating RNA in hard-to transfect somatic or primary cells. Simplicon® TagRFP expresses a monomeric red (orange) fluorescent protein generated from the RFP of sea anemone Entacmaea quadricolor. TagRFP exhibits fluorescence withexcitation/emission maxima at 555/584 nm respectively, and brightness that is nearly three times higher than mCherry.
