The Myc family of genes are proto-oncogenes implicated in cancer. Yamanaka demonstrated that c-myc is a factor implicated in the generation of mouse iPS cells. Usage of the “myc” family of genes in induction of iPS cells is troubling for the eventuality of iPS cells as clinical therapies, as 25% of mice transplanted with c-myc-induced iPS cells developed lethal teratomas. N-myc and L-myc have been identified to induce instead of c-myc with similar efficiency.

Using adenovirus to deliver these transcription factors has 2 main advantages – it does not incorporate into the targeted host and therefore avoids the potential for insertional mutagenesis, and the expression is transient for a brief amount of time in order for effective reprogramming to take place.

This adenovirus expresses mouse c-Myc, and it can be used in combination with other iPSC factor for the induction of iPSC reprogramming.

Gene Reference Data

Alternate Names
AU016757; bHLHe39; Myc2; Niard; Nird
Description (Vector)
Participates in the regulation of gene transcription. Binds DNA in a non-specific manner, yet also specifically recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. Seems to activate the transcription of growth-related genes.

About Storage Conditions

All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity. We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
