shRNA Lentivirus (self-inactivating), pU6-(CASC4-shRNA-Seq1)(CAT#: LV-SI0116WQ)

This product is a CASC4-shRNA encoding Lentivirus, which is based on HIV-1 serotype. The increased expression level of CASC4 gene is associated with HER-2/neu proto-oncogene overexpression. Amplification and resulting overexpression of this proto-oncogene are found in approximately 30% of human breast and 20% of human ovarian cancers. The expression of CASC4-shRNA leads to target gene silencing and this product can be used in gene therapy research and development.
