Description
Intact Genomics (ig®) GV3101 (pSoup-p19) Agrobacterium ElectroCompetent Cells are optimized for the highest transformation efficiencies, ideal for applications with cDNA or gDNA library construction. The GV3101 (pSoup-p19) strain has resistance to rifampicin, gentamicin, and tetracyline (see genotype). The GV3101 Ti plasmid has the T-DNA region deleted and transformation with a binary vector containing the missing T-region restores the T-DNA binary system function. The pSoup plasmid aids in replication of pGreen, 62SK, and pGs2 series plasmids. Addition of p19 inhibits RNA silencing of foreign genes, resulting in improved stability of heterologous gene transcripts. This system is used for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of dicots such as Arabidopsis thaliana, tobacco, potatoes, and monocots like corn.

Quality Control
Transformation efficiency is tested by using the pCAMBIA1391z control DNA supplied with the kit and using the protocol in this manual. Transformation efficiency should be ≥1 x 107 CFU/µg pCAMBIA1391z DNA. Untransformed cells are tested for appropriate antibiotic sensitivity.
General Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when using GV3101 (pSoup-p19) Agrobacterium ElectroCompetent Cells:
• Handle competent cells gently as they are highly sensitive to changes in temperature or mechanical
lysis caused by pipetting.
• Thaw competent cells on ice, and transform cells immediately following thawing. After adding DNA,
mix by tapping the tube gently. Do not mix cells by pipetting or vortexing.
Please note, all agrobacterial strains are not well studied for antibiotic resistance and there are many agrobacterial strains. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to make sure his/her vectors are compatible with the Agrobacterial strains if he/she uses an alternate antibiotic selection than kanamycin-selection.1282p19-12 1282p19-36
