Mission

The Missouri S&T cDNA Resource Center seeks to further scientific discovery in human biology and pathology by providing full-length cDNA clones of human proteins involved in signal transduction processes.

Details

The Missouri S&T cDNA Resource Center is a service provided by the faculty of the Biological Sciences Department of the Missouri University of Science and Technology. The fee of $120 per clone reflects our costs for producing, verifying and distributing the clones.

The Center provides clones of human proteins that are: 1) full length; 2) sequence verified; 3) expression verified in most cases by coupled in vitro transcription/translation assays; 4) propagated in two versatile vectors; 5) free of extraneous 3' and 5' untranslated regions; 6) available in wild-type, epitope-tagged and common mutant forms (e.g., constitutively-active or dominant negative).

Clones can be ordered from these web pages, by FAX or by phone. Clone documentation and availability are indicated in the catalog. All, clones are shipped the day of order by courier delivery (Federal Express).

The clones are supplied solely for non-commercial research purposes. Details on use of the material are included on the Material Transfer Agreement that is available on this web site.

Clones are distributed in Invitrogen's pcDNA3.1+ vector. Some clones are also available in BD Bioscience's (Clontech) pDNR-1r Creator™ donor vector.

The clones are provided as dried DNA (approximately 1.0 µg) on a circle of Whatman #1 filter paper. Instructions for reconstituting the DNA are provided in the FAQ section.

Questions can be directed toward any Resource Center staff member at (573) 341-7610, Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM-4:30 PM, ET. You may also contact us by FAX at (573) 341-7609, or email cdna@mst.edu).
