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

pDONR221-SLC35B3_STOP

Depositor: Giulio Superti-Furga

Purpose: Gateway entry clone with codon-optimized ORF sequence for subcloning into custom expression vectors. Contains a STOP codon at the end of the codon-optimized ORF sequence.

Viral Prep

pAAV-nEF-Con/Fon/Von eYFP (…

Depositor: Karl Deisseroth

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV Retrograde particles produced from pAAV-nEF-Con/Fon/Von eYFP (#137164). nEF-driven, Cre, Flp and VCre-dependent expression of EYFP. These AAV were produced with a retrograde serotype, which permits retrograde access to projection neurons. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody

Anti-TRPML3/Mucolipin-3 [N2…

Depositor: James Trimmer

Purpose: Anti-TRPML3/Mucolipin-3 (Human) recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody
