Description

p-mHMG1 plasmid (20 µg) [HM-300]

Plasmid p-mHMG1 contains the genomic mouse HMGB1 with its own promoter and enhancer, exons and introns (Falciola et al. High mobility group 1 protein is not stably associated with the chromosomes of somatic cells. J Cell Biol 1997, 137: 19-26).Mouse HMGB1 contains only 2 conservative substitutions with respect to human HMGB1.When transfected in mammalian cells, this plasmid increases transiently the HMGB1 content 4- to 7-fold.
