The Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is only available for the transfer of the Biological Material to educational and research organisations for internal research purposes.
pHELLSGATE, pWATERGATE, pSTARGATE and pOpOff contain GatewayTM recombination sites. GatewayTM is proprietary technology owned by Invitrogen and to the extent that CSIRO vectors incorporate GatewayTM technology, CSIRO only has permission to distribute these vectors to educational and research organisations for research purposes.
If the Recipient does not satisfy either of these criteria then the Recipient must obtain a separate licence from Invitrogen via this website.
The vector pOpOff also contains the pOp6 promoter for chemically inducible expression of hairpin RNA molecules, contributed by Dr Ian Moore of the University of Oxford. CSIRO only has permission to distribute strictly for non-commercial academic and research purposes.
The Recipient acknowledges that pSTARLING incorporates a maize ubiquitin promoter owned by Dow AgroSciences LLC. CSIRO is unable to grant any rights to the Recipient to use the maize ubiquitin promoter for other than internal research purposes and the Recipient must make separate arrangement with Dow AgroSciences LLC if other uses are intended.
