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.
About Addgene
For over 20 years, our nonprofit repository has been making it easier to access useful research materials and information.
Deposit your plasmids or contribute data — we'll handle storage, distribution, and record-keeping, helping you to share your discoveries with other scientists.
Request plasmids, antibodies, and ready-to-use viral preparations for your next experiment.

Scientists
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!
La Jolla Institute for Immunology (La Jolla, CA)
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
Depositor: Martin Riccomagno
Purpose: Viral vector for co-expression of non-functional Kir2.1 and EGFP in cells expressing Cre AND NOT Flp driven by the human Synapsin promoter.
Viral Prep
Antibody
Depositor: Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI)
Purpose: Anti-Integrin αVβ6 (Human) chimeric recombinant antibody with fused human variable and rabbit constant domains; binds the particular alpha/beta chain pair, blocks ligand binding/function (RGD-mimetic)
