Information
We distribute 174,397 plasmids on behalf of 6,961 labs from around the world. Our collection also contains 1,091 ready-to-use viral vectors and 275 recombinant antibodies. These materials have been requested 2,443,447 times and shipped to 113 countries.

What's New

A Fresh Look, The Same Addgene

We've refreshed our brand to better reflect the full scope of what we do: equipping scientists with the reagents, resources, and support that make sharing possible. Behind the new look is the same mission — a nonprofit partner scientists trust with their research.

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

pPBbsr2-NRG1-ScNeo

Depositor: Michiyuki Matsuda

Purpose: To monitor the status of NRG1, the plasmid encodes a recombinant NRG1 fused extracellularly to the mScarlet fluorescent protein and intracellularly to the mNeonGreen fluorescent protein

Viral Prep

AiP14033: pAAV-AiE0779m_3xC…

Depositor: Jonathan Ting

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV PHP.eB particles produced from AiP14033: pAAV-AiE0779m_3xC2-minBG-CoChR-EGFP-WPRE3-BGHpA (Alias: CN4033) (#214852). minBG-driven expression of CoChR-EGFP in striatal direct pathway medium spiny neurons (D1 MSNs). These AAV were produced with the PHPeB serotype, which permits efficient transduction of the central nervous system. 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 goat IgG3 Fc.
