The PiggyBac vector series for highly efficient amber suppression in transient or stable mammalian expression systems developed by Simon Elsässer and Jason Chin is available from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, subject to a Material Transfer Agreement. For inquiries please contact Fiona Townsley (fmt at mrc.lmb.cam.ac.uk). A detailed description of the vectors and procedure for generating stable cell lines can be found in the associated publications:
