ShRNA aganst VAPA?

21 November 2018 1 5K Report

Dear collegues. I am looking fora shRNA vector for silencing VAP-A protein. Does somebody has this plasmid to share an aliquot with us? Thank you very much in advance.

Dr. Ping. Thank you very much for your answer. I'll look at that page but we have no enough money to purchase a plasmid at this moment. Again, thank you.
