Simon N Waddington

Dear Jonathan,

I've -heard- that the GAPDH promoter is good (in the context of lentiviral transduction) although we haven't tested it in our lab.

BW, Simon

Nicolas Grandchamp

Hi Jonathan,

A good small ubiquitous promoter is the mini EF1. We use it in lentiviral vectors and it works well in a wide range of cells.

Regards,

Nicolas
