What is wrong with the expression from pLKO lentivirus?

We obtained pLKO5-EFS-GFP from addgene (Ben Ebert Lab) which contains U6-gRNA-EF1s-GFP. Using transient transfection, we got very good transfection. With virus, the GFP expression is extremely...

Why might my GFP tag be dissociating from my plasmid after transfection?

I have a set of stably transfected cell lines all transfected with plasmids containing GFP tags on the C terminus. During a western blot using anti-GFP antibody, one of my plasmids has dissociated...
