This cell line stably expresses dark ion channel in frame with V5 tag on the C-terminus. The ion channel construct is randomly integrated in the genome using lentiviral transduction. This cell line also expresses gene conferring Blasticidin resistance. These cells lines can be used for various molecular and biochemical characterizations of dark ion channels in vitro.
Single Cell Clones:C1, C4, C10, E5, F10, H6,
Clones F10 and H6 have high punctate intracellular and membraneous expression of V5. V5 expression in the membrane is high than intracellular expression.
