Addgene
Addgene has been an exceptionally useful resource for us, both because they can be trusted to supply our plasmids to other labs efficiently, and because we ourselves are constantly ordering reagents of interest that other labs have deposited. Keep up the good work!

Our optogenetic tools are sweeping throughout neuroscience, helping scientists figure out how the brain works. Without Addgene helping provide these to the world, neuroscience would be moving at a much slower pace.

Tools of the Day
Viral Prep
Depositor: Loren Looger
Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV9 particles produced from AAV-mDlx-jGCaMP8m-WPRE (#176754). mDlx enhancer-driven expression of calcium sensor GCaMP8m in GABA-ergic interneurons. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.
Antibody
Depositor: Melina Fan
Purpose: Anti-DYKDDDDK [M2] chimeric recombinant antibody; binds to FLAG tag sequence. The hybridoma-derived heavy chain variable sequence and kappa light chain are fused to a rabbit IgG Fc.
