Scientists Love 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

Plasmid

pRH2941

Depositor: Randy Hampton

Purpose: Protein quality control substrate and associated control YIp ADE2-LEU2 pTDH3::ARO7-GFP::tADH1

Viral Prep

pAAV-nEF-Con/Foff 2.0-ChR2-…

Depositor: Karl Deisseroth

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV8 particles produced from pAAV-nEF-Con/Foff 2.0-ChR2-mCherry (#137143). nEF-driven, Cre-dependent expression of ChR2-mCherry for optogenetic activation (inhibited in the presence of Flp recombinase). These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody

Anti-c-Myc [9E10] - Chimeric

Depositor: Melina Fan

Purpose: Anti-c-Myc chimeric recombinant antibody. The hybridoma-derived heavy chain variable sequence and kappa light chain are fused to a rabbit IgG Fc.
