Description
pEGFP-HMGB1 plasmid (20 µg) [HM-302]
Plasmid pEGFP-HMGB1 was obtained by inserting the coding sequence for the rat HMGB1 into pEGFP-N1 (Clontech) using the EcoRi and SacII restriction sites (Scaffidi et al. Release of chromatin protein HMGB1 by necrotic cells triggers inflammation. Nature 2002, 418: 191-5). It expresses HMGB1-GFP, which is rat HMGB1 (at the N terminus) fused to GFP (at the C terminus). This protein is fully functional and is functionally equivalent to unmodified HMGB1 (Pallier et al. Association of chromatin proteins HMGB1 and HMGB2 with mitotic chromosomes. Mol Biol Cell 2003, 14: 3414-26).
