The pCDF-2 Ek/LIC Vector is a LIC-compatible derivative of pCDF-1b. The plasmid contains a strong T7lac promoter and an amino terminal His•Tag^® coding sequence immediately followed by an Ek/LIC cloning site designed to allow the generation of fusion proteins with minimal vector-encoded sequence. An optional C-terminal S•Tag™ coding sequence is compatible with purification, detection, and quantification (1). This plasmid is compatible with the LIC Duet Adaptors for coexpression of two proteins as well as with pET-46 and pRSF-2 Ek/LIC vectors for coexpression of up to six proteins when using the LIC Duet Adaptors.
