Description(s):

The plenti-EGFR (H773_V774insH, C797S) vector contains EGFR with the H773_V774insH, C797S mutations under the MSCV promoter which can be used to infect both dividing and nondividing cells. It contains the HIV-1 LTRs and the lentiviral packaging signal (Ψ) for retroviral expression, with specific elements (WPRE, cPPT, RRE) included for improved transgene expression. Downstream of the EGFR viii gene is a DYKDDDDK-tag for Western blotting. Furthermore, copGFP can be used as a selection marker when used with stable cell lines.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor that plays a critical role in regulating cell division and death.  The EGFR H773_V774insH, C797S mutations involve the insertion of amino acid H (His) between the position H773 and V774, and a point mutation that changes a C (Cys) into an S (Ser) at point 797. The C797S mutation in particular is known to confer resistance to EGFR inhibitors such as osimertinib and poziotinib.
