What is the difference between the pRS expression plasmid , the pGFP-V-RS, and pRFP-C-RS plasmid?
The pGFP-V-RS plasmid contains tGFP driven by a CMV promoter. The pRFP-C-RS plasmid contains tRFP driven by a CMV promoter. Both plasmids provide an easy way to identify cells that have been transfected. The pGFP-V-RS vector is kanamycin resistant, pRFP-C-RS vector is chloramphenicol resistant while the pRS vector is ampicillin resistant.
