Animal-free Cytokines & Growth Factors

In addition to its wide range of recombinant cytokines, growth factors, receptos and CD markers from human, mouse and rat, PromoKine now also offers a selection of recombinant cytokines and growth factors that have been produced plants (barley seed endosperm) at high isogenic quality.

  • No proteolytic, pyrogenic and inflammatory activity
  • Free of bacterial, viral and prion infectious agents as well as contaminating molecules such as endotoxins (bacterial expression host) or cytokines, chemokines and growth factors (mammalian expression host)
  • No serum carryover that may cause unwanted effects such as proliferation
  • Proper eukaryotic folding and post-translational modification (e.g. glycosylation) that increases biological activity and stability  
  • More than 30 cytokines and growth factors available (e.g. EGF, FGF, Flt-Ligand, G-CSF, LIF, M-CSF, diverse Interleukins, IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, IGF-I, SCF, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, VEGF)

Gene Cloning, Expression & Silencing

Versatile vector systems for convenient cloning and efficient expression of genes

PromoKine now offers a selection of reporter vectors (with e.g. luciferase, β-Gal and GFP reporter genes) and fusion cloning vectors as well as vectors that have been optimized for over-expression of target genes. Those vectors are based on a high-level constitutive CMV promoter and are suited for transient as well as stable gene expression. Due to their small size and convenient multiple cloning sites they are ideal for rapid and efficient cloning and enable optimal cell transfection results. More information

PromoKine also provides PCR-based kits for fast, convenient and efficient gene cloning and high-level gene expression in mammalian cells. More information

Diverse vectors and kits for gene silencing experiments are also available. The vector systems have been designed for efficiently expressing siRNAs in mammalian host cells (with or without a GFP tag) while the kits have been developed for synthesizing the desired siRNA molecules to be transfected into host cells by PCR or T7 in vitro transcription. More information

In addition, the innovative StarGate Technology allows you to easily clone your gene of interest into an Entry Vector which then is the origin (Donor Vector) for transfering it conveniently and fast to various Acceptor Vectors providing different features (e.g. different combinations of promoters, affinity and reporter tags). Thus, the gene of interest can be fused with many different genetic surroundings and can be expressed in different host systems (mammalian and insect cells, E. coli and yeast) without the need of cumbersome and time-consuming subcloning procedures. StarGate is the method of choice to optimize expression of your target gene and purification of the respective gene product. The StarGate technology comprises the StarGate Combinatorial Cloning System as well as the StarGate Mutagenesis System and the StarGate Fusion Cloning System.  More information
