Dear All. I want to clone my target site of miRNA in vector pSEAP 2. So which site is best for insertion? 5' where there are MCS or 3' UTR region for functional analysis? because miRNA binds to 3'UTR region
I think you want to test a specific sequence that should be inserted as a 3' UTR in a reporter system. In this case pSEAP2 is not going to be the best option. Thermo Fisher scientific has a vector called pMIR-REPORT that uses luciferase and allows insertion of sequences at the 3' UTR. This is the link to their page,
I want to study the effect of miRNA at different time points so I want to use Secretary reporter without lysis of cells. But pSEAP2 has no MCS on 3'UTR
