In its inactive state it resides in the cytosol bound to chaperone proteins. Upon binding ligands, including environmental xenobiotics such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin as well as dietary and microbial metabolites, AHR translocates to the nucleus and dimerizes with the AHR nuclear translocator to activate genes encoding xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes. Beyond detoxification, AHR regulates immune cell differentiation, intestinal barrier function, cell proliferation, and inflammatory responses. Dysregulated AHR signaling is implicated in toxic responses, chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and cancer, making the receptor an important target in toxicology, immunology, and cancer research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Description \u0026amp; Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe h\/m AHR shRNA Lentivirus delivers a validated short hairpin RNA targeting human and mouse AHR for stable, RNA interference-based gene silencing. The 19-20 bp shRNA is expressed from a U6 Pol III promoter within a third-generation, self-inactivating lentiviral backbone, with a constitutively expressed fluorescent reporter (GFP, GFP\/Luc, RFP, RFP\/Luc) and an antibiotic selection marker (Zeocin, Puromycin, or Blasticidin) for tracking and stable line generation. VSV-G pseudotyping enables broad cell tropism, including primary, suspension, and cryopreserved cells. Knockdown is confirmed to meet or exceed 70% using a fluorescence-based assay. Particles are ultra-purified and concentrated by PEG precipitation and sucrose gradient centrifugation. Sets supply lentivirus from two independent shRNAs plus a scrambled-shRNA control, supporting loss-of-function studies of AHR in cancer and cell biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout This Product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis validated shRNA lentivirus targeting AHR delivers a 19–20 bp shRNA from a third-generation, self-inactivating lentiviral backbone. Expression is driven from a U6 Pol III promoter, with a constitutively expressed fluorescent reporter (GFP, GFP\/Luc, RFP, RFP\/Luc) and antibiotic selection marker (Zeocin, Puromycin, Blasticidin) co-expressed from the same vector. VSV-G pseudotyping enables broad cell tropism, including primary, suspension, and cryopreserved cell types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnockdown is validated using a proprietary bicistronic fluorescence assay in which the target mRNA is co-expressed fused to RFP alongside the shRNA-GFP construct. At least 70% reduction in RFP signal in GFP-positive cells confirms on-target activity — a more direct functional readout than transcript-level qPCR. Polyclonal stable lines can be generated by antibiotic selection within 10 days, preserving parental cell heterogeneity compared to single-clone CRISPR approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LipExoGen Biotech","offers":[{"title":"GFP \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6 (sh-mix) + 5x10^6 (scr-mix)","offer_id":53251616309613,"sku":"LSV-0064-SET1","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GFP \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53362027692397,"sku":"LSV-0064-1S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GFP \/ Zeocin \/ 5x10^6 (sh-mix) + 5x10^6 (scr-mix)","offer_id":53362027725165,"sku":"LSV-0064-SET2","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RFP \/ Zeocin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53362027757933,"sku":"LSV-0064-2S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/hm-AHR-shRNA-Lentivirus-Figure-1.jpg?v=1776934141","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/h-m-ahr-shrna-lentivirus-bhv19400209","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
